| Give Where You Live! |
A partnership between the University of Virginia and United Way of Greater Charlottesville, Give Where You Live gives UVA employees the opportunity to support local nonprofit organizations that are making a difference across our community. With more than 100 participating nonprofits representing a wide range of missions and community needs, there's an opportunity for everyone to find a cause that is close to their heart.
Community Partnership
Give Where You Live brings together two organizations with a shared commitment to strengthening the Charlottesville-area community. UVA employees have a long history of giving their time, talent, and resources to support their neighbors, while United Way of Greater Charlottesville brings 80 years of experience connecting community members with local organizations and causes. Together, this partnership makes it easier for UVA employees to support the nonprofits doing important work throughout the region.
Every day, local nonprofits provide resources and services that people in our communities depend on; from food and healthcare to education, youth programs, crisis support, and housing assistance. Through Give Where You Live, UVA employees can help these organizations continue their work to reach the people who need them most. With 100+ participating nonprofits, employees can choose the organizations and missions that mean the most to them.
It Started with Day of Caring
The campaign launched alongside another example of UVA's commitment to community service: the 35th annual Laurence E. Richardson Day of Caring.
On September 16th, more than 1,400 UVA employees volunteered at community service projects throughout the Greater Charlottesville region as part of the annual event, co-sponsored by UVA and United Way of Greater Charlottesville. Employees across Grounds spent the day working alongside local organizations, lending their time and energy to projects that support Charlottesvillians.
Give Where You Live builds on the Day of Caring's spirit of service by providing an opportunity to offer financial support for the same or similar local community organizations.
