Our Crowdfunding Groups
Last month at commencement, more than 5,600 University of Arizona students joined the Wildcat alumni family. We're honoring their achievement and 130 years of pushing boundaries at the UA with the 130 for 130 drive: 130 supporters making a gift by midnight on June 30, the end of our fiscal year.
Throughout the UA's 130-year history, the generosity of our donors has fueled new discoveries, innovative teaching, and expansion of outreach. With the launch of the Arizona NOW campaign, the largest fundraising campaign in University history, UA alumni and friends continue to commit to creating the future for our University and the people we serve.
In August, we'll welcome back returning students and a new freshman class. A gift to the President's Fund for Excellence, or the area of your passion, will make an impact for them. Now is the time to rally in support of our students and invest in their success!
