Our Distinctives

Financial Literacy

Money isn’t everything, but lifetime success is inherently tied to financial success. We want the student-athletes we work with to leave Grounds confident in their ability to manage their money and make intelligent decisions when it comes to spending, saving, & investing. To prepare them to make the most of their money, CavFutures Foundation will provide financial literacy programming including workshops and expert resources.

Mental Health

We believe in a person-first approach to everything we do. This means prioritizing the mental and emotional well-being of the student-athletes we work with. CavFutures Foundation will work to raise awareness for student-athlete mental health, as well as provide accessible resources to support our Hoos in their personal development.

Career Development

CavFutures Foundation is well-connected within UVA’s global network of proud alumni. These Cavaliers are ready to provide mentorship, help today’s student-athletes find internships and post-grad employment, and bring new opportunities to the table. We’re here to make the introduction!

Community Engagement

CavFutures Foundation encourages student-athletes to leverage their NIL in support of the causes and organizations they care most about. Through their involvement with CFF, student-athletes will learn more about the issues facing the Charlottesville area, establish meaningful relationships with non-profits & community organizations, and make service a priority as they build a sustainable legacy.
