Giving Tuesday: UAA Annual Fund for Excellence

Your Journey. Your Community. Your Impact.

Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity, and at the University of Alaska Anchorage, it is a celebration of community, opportunity and the power of education to transform lives. When you give to UAA’s Annual Fund for Excellence, you help ensure that every student has access to the resources and support needed to succeed — from their first day on campus to the moment they walk across the graduation stage.

Your gift strengthens student success, builds connections across communities and fuels innovation that extends beyond the classroom.

Unlike restricted funds designated for specific programs, the Annual Fund for Excellence provides UAA with the flexibility to meet the evolving needs of students, faculty and community partners. It allows the university to respond immediately to opportunities and challenges, making it one of the most impactful ways to support UAA’s mission.

Your gift to the Annual Fund for Excellence may help:

• Provide emergency financial aid that keeps a student enrolled
• Support tutoring, academic advising and career development services
• Expand access to wellness and mental health resources
• Launch new undergraduate research and community service initiatives
• Strengthen belonging and leadership programs across campus

Your Giving Tuesday support helps put students first and creates positive change across Alaska and beyond.
