University Relations

The UAF Alumni Association is soliciting proposals for use of its Benefactor Fund. If you want to do something to enhance student or campus life at UAF, we want to hear about it.

The UAFAA Benefactor Fund program, managed by the UAFAA Board of Directors, provides support to projects that enhance student life and support the Nanook experience at UAF. To request funding, please submit a typed, double-spaced application to uaf-alumni@alaska.edu.

Your application must include:

• A one-page cover sheet including:
  — The name and contact information of the department or student club applying.
  — The name and contact information of the department head or club president and club advisor.
  — The name and title of the person preparing the application.
  — The dollar amount requested and a brief abstract of the project, its purpose and its goals.


•  A synopsis of the project and the intended uses of any granted funds, including:
  — Department or club efforts to obtain funding from other sources.
  — How requested Benefactor Fund money will be used, including the number of students affected.
  — The department’s or club’s ability to carry out the project without the requested funds.
  — The minimum amount of funding needed to run the project, or how the project would fare if the association granted less than the full amount requested.
  — Anything else the UAFAA Board of Directors should know.


• A detailed budget for the project.

To ensure that your application is considered by the directors at their upcoming meeting on April 29-30, please submit applications by Friday, April 22.
