Are you considering applying for a Jefferson Trust grant in Spring 2026? Now is the time to start planning!
- Major Cycle: For requests over $10,000. Submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) at any time; those invited to the next stage must submit full proposals by January 31, 2026. Early LOI submissions are strongly encouraged to allow time for feedback and refinement.
- Flash Funding: For requests of $10,000 or less, with the proposal form opening on January 1, 2026. Designed for short-term projects or immediate-use opportunities, grants will be awarded monthly until the semester’s $100,000 allocation is fully distributed.
Visit our Grant Seekers webpage for full details and timelines of both cycles. We like bold, original ideas that create a tangible impact on the student experience, UVA community, or broader society.
