We set a big goal for our first-ever 30-day fundraising campaign—$10,000. Can we count on you to help us get there? 

Now is your chance to give big and double your gift. The Jon P. and Meredith M. Beckett Charitable Fund of The Community Foundation of the Rappahannock River Region is matching every dollar—up to $5,000—to support free public access to Virginia history and culture.

So far, 20 people have made gifts ranging from $10 to $500. Will you join them? How do you want to support Encyclopedia Virginia?

Hitting our fundraising goal will help us ensure free public access to nuanced Virginia history and culture for our audience of students, educators, journalists, and learners of all ages. Your donation today will affirm the importance of engaging with the past in order to imagine the future.
