RBS Announces Matching-Gift Challenge and Raffle Prizes


Having concluded its summer courses earlier this month, Rare Book School is excited to reveal this year’s record-breaking matching-gift challenge. Thanks to the RBS Board of Directors, all gifts made to the Annual Fund before September 30 will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $150,000. Individuals who make a gift to the Annual Fund help provide year-round programs for all students of the book.

Gifts of any amount can be made online; over the phone at 434-924-8851; or via check, made payable to Rare Book School, mailed to:

Rare Book School
University of Virginia
Box 400103
Charlottesville, VA 22904

Not only would your gift be doubled in amount and impact through this challenge, but it would also doubly serve as an entry into a raffle for one of two bookish prizes:

  • a STILT® Book Cradle set for your book presentation needs, complimentary from our friends at STILT; and
  • an RBS package containing the 2024 mug, t-shirt, lanyard and more.

Winners will be chosen at random. All gifts made between July 1 and September 30 are eligible to be selected.

RBS is grateful to STILT and its proprietor, Natasha Herman, for making this raffle opportunity available to our generous community of supporters. Please visit the STILT website to learn more about their products and team.

For questions or more information, please contact Adam Miller, RBS Director of Development, at 434-243-1010 or adam.miller@virginia.edu.
