#GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement that empowers nonprofit organizations everywhere. It was created in 2012 with a simple goal: encourage people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, to collaborate and to celebrate philanthropy.
Giving to UA on Giving Tuesday allows alumni, students, faculty, staff, leaders and friends the chance to lean into our values in direct, meaningful ways. Join us as we boost scholarship and support funds across campus, all while celebrating the spirit of generosity and making waves in our UA community!
