Chancellor’s Report on Philanthropy
Winter 2022
Dear UAF supporter,
As we celebrate the season of gratitude, I reflect on your generosity and that of others like you who make a difference at UAF by investing in our world-class people and programs.
In September, UAF hosted the UA Foundation Board of Directors at a reception where we showcased the Troth Yeddha’ Indigenous Studies Center Initiative. That evening, nearly $100,000 was donated in support of the This initiative moves UAF one step closer to the construction of what will be a center of belonging for ³ÉÈËӰƬ Native and Indigenous ³ÉÈËӰƬ everywhere.
This fall I had the privilege to deliver UAF’s Convocation. I invite you to check out the — we have a lot to celebrate! Notably, through the generous gifts from our past, present and future donors, UAF ³ÉÈËӰƬ and programs continue to thrive.
As we celebrate the power of transformative philanthropy at UAF, it seems fitting to appreciate our legacy donors — an extraordinary group of people who included, or plan to include, UAF in their estate plans. UAF is deeply grateful for the gifts from our past that continue to have a tremendous impact today, and we are humbled by the philanthropy we have yet to see.
I wish you a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends, and thanks for choosing UAF.
