Giving to Richmond

UR Here Giving Day

Our fifth annual UR Here Giving Day takes place April 4-5, 2023! Spiders everywhere are coming together for this exciting 36-hour event beginning at noon EDT on April 4. Giving Day is the perfect time to support your Richmond passion, with 160+ areas of campus to choose from and matches and challenges to multiply your gift! 

No matter where you are, when you give to Richmond, UR Here — standing shoulder to shoulder with our students as they pursue lives of purpose. Cheers to five years of UR Here!

Giving Spotlights

We are deeply grateful for donor support. Read the stories of stand-out Spiders who have made a lasting impact on our campus, as well as those who have benefited from donor generosity. 

Pillars: A Report on the Impact of Giving

Pillars is a new annual report dedicated to the impact of philanthropy at Richmond. This first edition illustrates how the generosity of the Spider community carries forward the promise of access and opportunity to the next generation. We hope you are as inspired as we are by these incredible stories.

The Endowment Myth

The University’s endowment contributes about five percent of its annual value to the institution’s operating budget each year. Learn more about what the endowment does, what it doesn’t do, and how you can support UR’s future. 

Spiders Helping Spiders

Each fall, the UR community celebrates Spiders Helping Spiders, a special week dedicated to helping students in financial need. In November 2022, alumni, families, and friends united to support these students by giving to three key funds. Thank you to everyone who took part in Spiders Helping Spiders!
