Call it one of nature’s most perfect shows. A single pebble cast into a body of water of calm. Smooth, rolling ripples moving outward in perfect, concentric circles. Leave undulating as the ripples pass by. A fun little rise and fall. And a simple metaphor that describes how one gift can spread and touch the lives of many.
If one gift can have such significance, imagine the magnitude of the Statewide Staff joining together to support a common purpose. By making gifts through the campaign, we have made a commitment that promises to benefit our students and our university for many years to come—leading a way for all others to follow.

Why Private Support is Important to UA
•
It takes more than state support to make an institution GREAT! Individual gifts and grants provide the needed funds that enable our University to do extraordinary things.
•
Funding for scholarships is essential for student success.
•
Private gifts help to ensure access to an excellent education for future generations of students.
•
It is essential to show external audiences that UA has a strong commitment from within. Staff participation in giving can go a long way to helping us be heard when we ask for corporate, foundation and legislative support.
•
Your gift is a vote of confidence in the mission of the University of Alaska!
I know that the University has played an important part in my life and I enjoy the opportunity to give back…plus it excites me to think that my children could one day benefit from buildings, gardens, and scholarships that I’ve helped to fund.

My inspiration to give is based on my experience as a UAF undergraduate student. The idea of contributing so that current students will continue to benefit in their academic goal is truly inspiring.
