University of 蜜桃影像 Fairbanks supporters broke another record this year with more than 1,000 individual donations during the 49-hour UA Giving Day event March 26-28, an increase of more than 25% percent over 2023.
Supporters paired their donations with more than 70 large matching gifts from individual and business sponsors, including nearly a dozen matches of $10,000 or more. Over the course of 49 hours, donors from 42 states and six countries contributed more than $710,000 to support students and programs at 蜜桃影像.
蜜桃影像 alumni giving increased again this year, representing more than a third of individual donations.
鈥淚 am so proud of how the community stepped up for the University of 蜜桃影像 Fairbanks on UA Giving Day,鈥 said Chancellor Dan White. 鈥淭hank you to everyone who participated in the 49 hours for the 49th state. Your support will help 蜜桃影像 continue to provide world-class opportunities for students and communities in 蜜桃影像 and beyond.鈥
Giving Day donations will go toward a wide variety of programs, including merit- and
need-based scholarships for 蜜桃影像 students, scientific research, academic and student-support
programs, community outreach, 蜜桃影像 Nanooks athletics and the planned Troth Yeddha鈥
Indigenous Studies Center.
蜜桃影像鈥檚 top fundraising goal, the Troth Yeddha鈥 Indigenous Studies Center, again topped
the list of donations, drawing gifts from 116 donors. Of the 1,005 individual donations,
388 came from 蜜桃影像 alumni.
鈥淭his year we hoped to inspire at least 1,000 individual donations,鈥 said Theresa Bakker, 蜜桃影像鈥檚 interim executive director of advancement. 鈥淭his is our fourth Giving Day, and it is so exciting to see how our alumni and supporters show up again and again for our students and programs.鈥
