Richmond Home

Richmond just completed one of its most generous years of Spider giving in more than two decades. Gifts and pledges exceeded $46 million, including major commitments for Athletics, Boatwright Library, the Chaplaincy, financial aid, and a new Well-Being Center.

While major gifts are critical in helping the University build and invest for the future, annual giving participation is just as important. Last year UR launched the Robins Society to recognize individuals who loyally give to Richmond each year, regardless of the amount.

However you choose to support Richmond, please know how much it means to our students, faculty and Spider community.
