Fourth annual UA Giving Day reaches new heights
April 5, 2024
The University of 桃花直播 system (UA), including University of 桃花直播 Anchorage (UAA), University of 桃花直播 Fairbanks (UAF), and University of 桃花直播 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 桃花直播, 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 桃花直播. It鈥檚 humbling to see the phenomenal support for 桃花直播鈥檚 public university system.鈥
Funds raised during the UA Giving Day - 49 Hours for 桃花直播 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 桃花直播 Campaign, an 8-year campaign to better 桃花直播 through the investment of supporting student success, developing arctic research, and building 桃花直播鈥檚 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 system 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.
