GIFTS AND GRANTS REPORT

The President noted first that private giving to the University and its related foundations for Fiscal Year 2004, that is the year that ended on June 30, 2004, amounted to $174.9million. If the distribution last year from the estate of David Harrison is excluded, the base rate of fund raising has increased by 13% over the last fiscal year.

Turning to figures for the first two months of the current fiscal year, that is, July 1-August 31, he reported that private giving is $18.5million, which is a decrease of $2.4million or 12% from the same period last year. Nonetheless, the College, the University Library and The University of Virginia’s College at Wise report substantial increases in giving.

Among significant gifts received since the June Board meeting are a bequest of $2.32million to the College from the Estate of Mrs. Frances M. Burger – the gift benefits the Alfred and Frances Burger Endowed Fellowship Fund for Chemistry. The Pew Charitable Trust has made a $1.5million grant to the College for the Center on Religion and Democracy. There is a bequest of $1million for the John C. Buchanan Professorship in Internal Medicine from the Estate of Jean Lui Phipps. A $1million bequest from the Estate of Paul F. Dishner, M.D. is to be split between The University of Virginia’s College at Wise and the School of Continuing and Professional Studies center at Abingdon.

Among significant new pledges in the same period is a $10million pledge from Mrs. Ann Lee Saunders Brown, to be split between the School of Engineering and the University Library – the

President reminded the Board that Mrs. Brown would be their guest at lunch later in the day. Microsoft Corporation has made a $3million pledge to the Darden School Foundation for a joint program between the Darden School and the Curry School of Education for the Virginia School Turnaround Specialist Program. The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation has pledged $1.5million for the endowment held by the Law School Foundation. Bristol-Myers Squibb Medical Imaging, Inc. has made a pledge of $1million to the School of Medicine for the George A. Beller, M.D./Bristol-Myers Squibb Medical Imaging, Inc., Professorship in Cardiovascular Medicine. The John H. Birdsall Revocable Trust has pledged $1million to The College Foundation for unrestricted use.

The final pledge the President reported came from Mr. Daniel Maxwell Meyers of Boston who announced last week that he intended to double his pledge to the Curry School, bringing his total pledge to $22million; this is thought to be the second largest gift ever made to an American school of education.
