ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å Giving Day is a collaborative effort between the University of Alaska Foundation and the three separately accredited universities University of Alaska Anchorage, University of Alaska Fairbanks, and the University of Alaska Southeast. It is an opportunity to encourage students, alumni, faculty, staff, and the community to come together in a show of support for the University of Alaska. Donations of all sizes are welcome.

The ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å Giving Day website, , has tools to help participants easily share the event through digital and social media channels. The website will track not only overall dollars and donors generated during ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å Giving Day, but also gifts to schools and colleges, departments, programs and designated funds. Post about ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å Giving Day across social media channels using the #ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°åGivingDay2020 hashtag and share in the ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å Giving Day fun and excitement.

Donors are encouraged to support the campus and area of the University that is most meaningful to them. Social media ambassadors will challenge friends and family to also support the University of Alaska on ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å Giving Day.

In launching ÂÌÅ«Ì컨°å Giving Day, the University of Alaska joins a successful trend among Association of American Universities institutions, creating a university-specific day to celebrate philanthropy.
