UAFAA Benefactor Fund
Established in 1998, the UAF ΐΦ»’Φ±²₯ Association Benefactor Fund unites alumni in the spirit of collective generosity. The UAF ΐΦ»’Φ±²₯ 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 ΐΦ»’Φ±²₯ ΐΦ»’Φ±²₯ 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 ΐΦ»’Φ±²₯ Fairbanks.
