New Endowment Resources

UVA's endowment is an essential source of permanent support.  For the last 15 fiscal years, spending from the endowment has increased, providing a reliable income stream that we can count on to support excellence and affordability.

We've produced two new resources to help internal and external audiences alike understand better how our endowment works.  You'll find these resources on the UVAFinance website:
