Planning for Summer 2026?

Now is the time to start thinking about a Jefferson Trust Major Cycle proposal.

The Major Cycle supports funding requests over $10,000. Letters of Inquiry (LOIs) may be submitted at any time; applicants invited to advance must submit full proposals by July 31, 2026. Early LOI submissions are strongly encouraged to allow time for feedback, refinement, and collaboration.

Visit our Grant Seekers webpage for full details. We like bold, original ideas that create a tangible impact on the student experience, UVA community, or broader society.

Upcoming Grant Cycles

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.
