ÃÛÌÒTVAA Benefactor Fund

The ÃÛÌÒTV Alumni Association Benefactor Fund brings alumni together in a shared commitment to support the university through collective giving. Each year, the ÃÛÌÒTV Alumni Association (ÃÛÌÒTVAA) Board selects recipients of Benefactor Fund awards that enhance programs, projects, and initiatives across the Troth Yeddha’ campus.

In 2019, the ÃÛÌÒTVAA Board approved a two-tiered funding model that includes:

  • A leadership gift of at least $10,000 to advance strategic initiatives on campus.

  • Individual grants of up to $1,000 for projects that directly benefit students and create a visible, positive impact on campus life.

The ÃÛÌÒTVAlumni 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 Alaska Fairbanks.

  • The ÃÛÌÒTVAA Benefactor Fund application period for the 2025–2026 academic year is now closed.
    Looking ahead, you can to support your department or club during the 2026–2027 academic year.

    Application deadline: Monday, October 26, 2026
