Established in the summer of 2014, the Arts Endowment aims to complete a continuum of support for the Arts at U.Va. by building a sustainable source of funds to further enhance the University’s profile as a leader in arts learning, teaching and service. Donors who make a gift to the Arts Endowment of $100,000 or more are invited to serve a five-year trustee term to advise the Office of the Provost on the use and strategic investment of endowment earnings.
