This summer VFH had the great fortune to receive a $1 million commitment from Barbara Fried, the chair of its Board of Directors, to endow and sustain Encyclopedia Virginia (EV). Fried has been passionate about EV from its birth in 2005 and its launch three years later, seeing the online publication as an important, authoritative history resource for students, teachers, and learners of all ages. “It’s essential for our citizens to have access to reliable information about Virginia,” she told us.

Programs such as EV make a real difference in Virginia, and generous gifts such as Fried’s are essential for making them possible. In recent years we have focused on the importance of making unrestricted gifts to the VFH Annual Fund, which has been—and remains—our greatest need. But at the same time, VFH has twelve programs in addition to EV, each providing critical humanities outreach across the Commonwealth and beyond. They all need support.

We want to take this opportunity to encourage our supporters, whether loyal members of our Cardinal Society or first-time donors, to find a VFH program that makes a difference in your life or those around you. Consider your passions and interests. Whether it’s preserving folk traditions through the Virginia Folklife Apprenticeship Program, digitizing the papers of Patrick Henry through Documents Compass, facilitating the appearance of authors in schools during the annual

Virginia Festival of the Book, or producing national broadcast radio shows such as BackStory with the American History Guys and With Good Reason—chances are, VFH has a program that fits.

One matter of particular urgency these days is preserving our unique programming. To meet this need, we are creating a project called Discovery Virginia, a searchable online database that will preserve all of VFH’s digital programming and make it available to the public. There you’ll find videos of book festival events, audio recordings of folk artists, past episodes of radio shows, and many other irreplaceable recordings and videos. Consider it just one more way that VFH provides Virginians of all ages with new opportunities to engage with their state’s history and culture.

You have dedicated a portion of your resources to VFH over the years and we are truly grateful for your support. With your investment, VFH has been able to produce more than 40,000 humanities programs and contribute to more than 3,000 grant projects across the Commonwealth and beyond. These are extraordinary numbers when you consider the intellectual depth associated with each of these projects.

We hope that Barbara Fried will serve as an inspiration to others who have connected with VFH and want to get involved with one or more of its many programs. Thank you for your help in sustaining its strong future!

Pay it forward by investing in your favorite VFH program!

The Humanities Cabinet recognizes donors of unrestricted gifts of $2,500 or more. VFH appreciates the support of these donors who provide flexible support to areas of greatest need.

CORNERSTONE SOCIETY

VFH is committed to building a vital future through planned and endowed gifts. We recognize those who have remembered VFH through a planned gift or a simple bequest, real or personal property, charitable trust, or other means. Because these are substantial, long-term, income producing gifts, they serve as the cornerstone for future growth and contribute to the expansion of public humanities and scholarship in Virginia.
