Ready, Set, Seek: UA Giving Day 2025!

For 49 hours, from March 25–27, we’re uniting Southeast Alaska communities—alumni, students, and friends—to reconnect, give back to UAS, and have a little fun along the way. This year’s playful theme, “Hide and Seek,” invites you to find your reason to give. Whether it’s supporting scholarships, funding research projects, enhancing student life, or strengthening local economies, your impact matters.  

With matching opportunities that can double or triple your gift, social media fun, and plenty of friendly rivalry, this is your chance to make a lasting difference. Help us reach our goal of raising $57,500 and securing 200 donors—including tripling the number of donors from the Sitka and Ketchikan campuses compared to last year!  

You can also help by spreading the word! Share the excitement of Giving Day with your friends and neighbors using #UASGivingDay, #49HoursforAlaska, and @uasoutheast. And if you want to double or triple your impact on an area you love, consider setting up a match or challenge gift. Reach out to Brittany Eames at [email protected] to learn more.  

Ready or not… Giving Day is coming! Let’s inspire positive change across Southeast Alaska together.

Give to UAS

• The University of Alaska is important to Alaska’s future economic development. Through partnerships with business and industry, UAS is able to focus its highest priority initiatives in response to Southeast Alaska’s employment and job training needs.
• Statistics show that the more education an individual receives, the less money the government will spend on welfare, unemployment, child support enforcement, incarceration, health care and other social services. Furthermore, the more likely that person is to vote, be active in their community, and contribute to charities.
• A strong university brings more to our community than opportunities for higher education and professional advancement. Nationwide, our country’s colleges and universities are centers for the arts and scientific research. These programs enrich our lives and strengthen our community, while attracting new businesses to invest in our local economy.

Annual Giving

At UAS alumni, friends, employees and community members can give meaningful gifts on an annual basis to the Chancellor's unrestricted fund.  These funds are used for many purposes: to supplement existing named funds, or start new endowed funds as well as general scholarships, depending on the needs determined by the current Chancellor. Gifts to existing funds

Contributions can be made to existing endowed or restricted funds at any time.

Establishing a New Fund

There are two types of funds here at UAS: endowed and restricted.  

• Endowed
  A minimum of $25,000 is required to create an endowed named fund.  Endowed gifts are invested. This is the most long-term, monumental form of support. For more in-depth information about this process, please see the UA Foundation, which provides administrative overview of all UAS funds

• Restricted
  A minimum of $5,000 is required to create a restricted named fund.  Restricted funds smaller and not invested, but donated directly into the fund and used for the purposes defined in a gift agreement between the donor and the University. If the funds are not replenished by additional gifts, they will be closed.

We’d love to talk with you about your ideas for creating a new memorial fund or contributing to an existing fund.
