I’m writing to follow up on the recent pan-University email from the 2022 Commonwealth of Virginia Campaign (CVC) Inaugural Honorary Chair, J.J. Davis, and co-chairs Kevin McDonald and Dave Martel.
The CVC offers the most significant opportunity for UVA faculty, staff, UVA Health team members, student groups, and others to come together as a community to support nonprofit and charitable organizations. For me personally, it is important to include local organizations such as The Haven (CVC Code 200114), a day shelter near the downtown mall that provides many resources to the homeless every day (hot breakfast, showers, laundry, computers, phones, storage bins, and mail services) with the ultimate goal of housing the homeless. There are
over 80 local organizations that benefit from the CVC campaign and serve the residents of our region.
For a quarter century, UVA has led all state agencies in giving to the CVC and is actively involved with the localities and communities served by these organizations.
The Great and Good strategic plan asks us to be intentional in finding ways to be good neighbors to the communities of our region and in which we live and work. As a measure of our commitment to this idea, the Honorary Chair’s Challenge this year is to collectively raise $800,000 in support of participating nonprofits.
To participate in this year’s CVC, use the pledge form at
In addition, charitable donations that you have made already this year (and through December 31st) directly to CVC-approved charities can be counted in UVA’s CVC participation, with the proper documentation. Here’s the Direct Giving form that you can use if you wish to submit documentation for a gift made directly to any CVC-approved charity. You may have already made a contribution that can be counted in UVA’s CVC participation!
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
