While the semesters change and seasons come and go, the need for private gifts remains the same year after year. As a state-assisted university, UMW receives less than 22 percent of its operating budget from the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Private gifts from alumni, parents, friends, students, businesses, faculty and staff do make a difference.
Make your annual gift to the Fund for Mary Washington or a program or initiative important to you. Be assured, your gift will have an immediate impact.
