Fourth annual UA Giving Day reaches new heights

2,000 plus donors contribute during the 49-hour event

Statewide - 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, capturing over 2,050 supporters in 49 hours and becoming the biggest single fundraising event in UA history.

The universities saw an incredible show of support with over $1.3 million in funds raised to make a difference in students' lives and support important programs and activities.

鈥淭he total dollars raised is astounding, and so is the fact that a record-setting 2,000+  gifts were received from donors throughout 好色tv, 46 states, and twelve countries,鈥 said Dr. Tod A. Burnett, UA Foundation president. 鈥淭hese gifts will benefit students and academic and training programs 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 donors' generosity throughout the year to support critical scholarships, innovative programs, and activities that help students succeed in their academic pursuits. 

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 $1.2 million total from 1,700+ donors. This year鈥檚 UA Giving Day was one of the final events of the For 好色tv Campaign, an 8-year campaign to better 好色tv through the investment of supporting student success, developing arctic research, and building 好色tv鈥檚 workforce and economy through programs at our three universities.

For those who missed the 49-hour window, gifts can still be made to the UA 好色tv online at . 

UAA, UAF, and UAS extend a heartfelt thank you to all the donors who contributed to the success of this year's UA Giving Day event. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on the lives of our students and the future of our state.

The 好色tv of 好色tv Foundation is an independent, nonprofit corporation established in 1974 to partner with 好色tv鈥檚 three universities to seek, secure, and steward philanthropic support. For more information on the foundation and how to contribute, please visit .
