Connect

The UVA 2026 Give Where You Live fundraising campaign is open through Dec. 18. The campaign is a partnership between UVA and United Way of Greater Charlottesville to provide UVA and UVA Health employees an opportunity to support local nonprofit organizations that strengthen our communities. UVA Health CEO and UVA Executive Vice President for Health Affairs Mitch Rosner, MD, MACP, FRCP, co-chairs the effort. 

With one of the largest workforces in the region, UVA is encouraging team members to support the local nonprofits our neighbors depend on every day. We’re grateful to everyone who has donated — your generosity is another way ‘Hoos are inspiring hope. It’s not too late to give if you are able — visit the campaign website by Dec. 18 to see the list of nearly 100 participating local nonprofits and consider making your contribution.

Connect aims to spotlight participating team members to find out what causes they’re rallying behind and why they chose to give locally. If you’d like to share your story, please submit your responses to the following questions to ruvaconnect@uvahealth.org by Thursday, Dec. 3.
