Philanthropic Focus Areas & Opportunities
Contribute to the Future of Vilnius University – explore the many ways you can support our mission. Every gift makes a meaningful difference. Support the Endowment Fund and Sub-Funds, or contribute to the VU Foundation’s work and progress in other ways. Your philanthropy is an investment in knowledge, progress, and the well-being of society.
Support the Unrestricted Endowment Fund. The return on the endowment’s investments is allocated to advancing the VU Foundation’s strategic goals — such as funding academic talent and other key priorities.
Support Restricted Endowment Sub-Funds. Choose from academic, non-academic, named, or thematic sub-funds. The return on investments is directed toward achieving the specific goals of each sub-fund and supporting the work of individual VU units.
Establish a new named or thematic sub-fund starting from €100,000. Choose the purpose for which the investment returns will be allocated, and leave a lasting impact on the academic community.
Support us at no extra cost. Every year, by May 2nd, allocate your 1.2% personal income tax (PIT) to support the VU Foundation, its sub-funds, and other University activities.
Donate real estate, securities, or other valuables (artworks, collectibles, gemstones, or other long-term valuable items) to the VU Foundation — contribute to the advancement of science, knowledge, and the future.
Inheritance can become the most meaningful gift — designate a portion of your estate in your will to the VU Foundation and support education and science for future generations.
