Funding DOPS

Support Our Mission

We very much appreciate your kind donations and support of our research endeavors.

Make A Gift

With over 50 years of groundbreaking research generated by the faculty and staff of the Division of Perceptual Studies, we recognize that this is a critical transitional time in our research legacy. We are expanding and intensifying our work as we welcome the next generation of DOPS researchers and respond to growing interest in the study of human consciousness.

We gratefully accept all financial donations to support ongoing research and new initiatives at the UVA Division of Perceptual Studies.

Each year DOPS must obtain funding to support its ongoing research and operating costs. The Division’s funding comes from generous bequests, donations from private foundations, and from our valued private donors.

Learn more about the research and new initiatives that your support makes possible by contacting our Administrative and Business Development Executive, Maggie Guggenheimer via email at mog3b@uvahealth.org or via phone at 434-243-9826.
