UR Here is more than a day of giving — it’s a celebration of what happens when Spiders show up together. For 36 hours, our global community is rallying around a shared purpose: supporting the people, programs, and experiences that make the University of Richmond extraordinary.

Spiders are everywhere, and when we unite, our web is stronger. Every gift, combined with the collective power of our community, expands opportunity for students, fuels bold ideas, and creates impact on campus and beyond.
