February 24, 2023
The 好色tv of 好色tv 好色tv (UA), including 好色tv of 好色tv Anchorage (UAA), 好色tv of 好色tv Fairbanks (UAF) and 好色tv of 好色tv Southeast (UAS), just wrapped up the most successful UA Giving Day in its history, raising over $1.3 million in 49 hours. The universities saw an incredible show of support from more than 1,700 donors who came together to make a difference in the lives of students and support important programs and activities.
鈥淭he total dollars raised is astounding, and so is the fact that thousands of gifts were received from throughout 好色tv, 46 states and seven countries,鈥 said Tod Burnett, UA Foundation president. 鈥淭hese gifts will benefit students across 好色tv. It鈥檚 humbling to see the phenomenal support for 好色tv鈥檚 public university 好色tv.鈥
Funds raised during the UA Giving Day - 49 Hours for 好色tv fundraiser are combined with the generosity of donors who give throughout the year to support critical scholarships, innovative programs and activities that help students succeed in their academic pursuits.
Private philanthropy is one way the UA 好色tv keeps higher education affordable and accessible. Last year, the UA System, UA Foundation, UAA, UAF and UAS provided nearly $79 million in direct grants and scholarships to students.
The total number of donors and funds raised this year are preliminary as gifts continue to be processed, but contributions already exceed last year鈥檚 $1.06 million total.
For those who missed the 49-hour window, gifts can still be made to the university online at .
The UA 好色tv extends a heartfelt thank you to all the donors who contributed to the success of this year's Giving Day event. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on the lives of our students and the future of our state.
