Express your pride! 2008 UAA Family Campaign for Faculty and Staff begins this week

This week marks the kick-off of the annual UAA Family Campaign for Faculty and Staff. The campaign is a time when we, as employees of UAA, consider making a gift to the program, scholarship or college of our choice. Giving is easy, flexible, meaningful and important!

New features of the 2008 Family Campaign include:

• Chancellor's dollar-for-dollar match for new and increased gifts increased to $2,500*
• Easy access to giving via the Web site at www.uaa.alaska.edu/giving
• Faculty and Staff Donor Honor Roll listing

The campaign runs through June 30, 2008. Everyone is encouraged to participate as another way to express our pride! More information on how you can become a valued donor to UAA with a tax-deductible gift will be provided via inter-campus mail. You may also download forms, learn about funds, and give at www.uaa.alaska.edu/advancement/giving/faculty-and-staff.cfm.

Express your pride as a donor to show external constituents that we support the importance and impact of our life's work!

Payroll deduction is encouraged. Payroll forms must be submitted to the Development Office before June 13, 2008 to receive the match. Eligibility is determined based on giving for last fiscal year. Last year's fiscal year was July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007.

For more information contact Julia Martinez, Director of Annual Giving, at (907) 786-1278 or anjm5@uaa.alaska.edu.

*Leverage your employee giving through the 2008 Chancellor's Match. Chancellor Fran Ulmer is generously making a dollar-for-dollar match for individual gifts up to $2,500 from the Chancellor's undesignated fund for new contributions and for any increase over last year's contribution. Your gift will be matched when it is designated to any existing UA Foundation fund, scholarship or program of your choice. This match opportunity ends June 30, 2008.
