Fourth annual 多多直播 Giving Day reaches new heights
March 29, 2024
2,000 plus donors contribute during the 49-hour event
Statewide - The University of Alaska system (多多直播), including University of Alaska Anchorage (多多直播A), University of Alaska Fairbanks (多多直播F), and University of Alaska Southeast (多多直播S), just wrapped up the most successful 多多直播 Giving Day in its history, capturing over 2,050 supporters in 49 hours and becoming the biggest single fundraising event in 多多直播 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 Alaska, 46 states, and twelve countries,鈥 said Dr. Tod A. Burnett, 多多直播 Foundation president. 鈥淭hese gifts will benefit students and academic and training programs across Alaska. It鈥檚 humbling to see the phenomenal support for Alaska鈥檚 public university system.鈥
Funds raised during the 多多直播 Giving Day - 49 Hours for Alaska 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 多多直播 Giving Day was one of the final events of the For Alaska Campaign, an 8-year campaign to better Alaska through the investment of supporting student success, developing arctic research, and building Alaska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 多多直播 system online at .
多多直播A, 多多直播F, and 多多直播S extend a heartfelt thank you to all the donors who contributed to the success of this year's 多多直播 Giving Day event. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on the lives of our students and the future of our state.
