Student Athletes making a difference in the community

The Three Pillars

Pillar 01

Student Athletes Making a Difference

Service is at the core of the CavFutures Foundation. We facilitate philanthropic engagement opportunities that allow UVA Student Athletes to leave an impact off the field, supporting the vital work of local nonprofits. Allowing athletes the chance to give back not only supports their holistic experience in Charlottesville, but gives them a chance to explore the causes they care most about.

Pillar 02

Building Essential Life Skills

We equip Student Athletes with the essential skills for life outside of the playbooks. Our curriculum covers brand building and media training, comprehensive financial literacy education, and professional sponsorship engagement tools to ensure real-world readiness. Partnering with Morgan Stanley, we are able to meet Student Athletes where they're at, whether that's budgeting 101 or pathways to invest in their futures.

Pillar 03

Professional Success Beyond the Game

Our program focuses on post-graduate preparation, establishing an elite alumni network, and fostering long-term professional growth. From the Career Kickoff with Life After Virginia Foundation and UVA Football, to networking events, to the Career Development Day, CavFutures Foundation aims to create opportunities where athletes feel ready for when the ball stops.
