UAFAA Benefactor Fund
Established in 1998, the UAF Alumni Association Benefactor Fund unites alumni in the spirit of collective generosity. The UAF Alumni Association (UAFAA) Board meets annually to select recipients of the benefactor awards that support various groups and initiatives across the UAF Troth Yeddhaβ campus. In 2019 the UAFAA board approved a plan that provides two levels of benefactor gifts each year:
- A leadership gift of at least $10,000 that supports strategic initiatives on campus.
- Individual gifts of up to $1,000 for projects that support students and have a positive and visible impact on campus.
The ΜΐΔ·ΚΣΖ΅ Alumni Association is pleased to recognize the following alumni benefactors for their generous contributions to the association. The contributions pay for projects that enhance student life at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
- for your department or club.
