The Cavalier Daily is a financially independent, non-profit organization and, as such, we receive no funding from the University of Virginia. We must generate enough revenue to cover all operating costs. We welcome your contributions, which will support our continuing transition towards our future as a digital publication.

In the face of a changing media landscape and in pursuit of continuity for organizational initiatives across terms, The Cavalier Daily recently reincorporated with a Board of Directors comprised primarily of alumni from the Cavalier Daily Alumni Association. This creates a historic partnership between students and alumni for the CD’s sustainability, while protecting students' independent role in making journalism decisions.

At the same time, our student staff has been providing in-depth journalism that meets the evolving needs of our digitally savvy audience. In the past few years, we have doubled our readership and social media reach while winning awards from the Virginia Press Association for our coverage of stories such as the violent white supremacist rallies of Aug. 11-12, 2017 and affordable housing issues in Charlottesville.

You can make a tax-deductible donation by clicking here, which takes you to The Cavalier Daily Alumni Association's secure account. The page is set up to receive contributions in any amount. We look forward to using the money we raise to further our mission of providing honest and accurate information to students, faculty, staff, alumni and the Charlottesville community.
