Sponsor a Challenge for Giving Day 2019
For the fourth year in a row, the University of Arkansas will be celebrating its birthday in a big way by hosting an online day of giving called All In for Arkansas on April 3-4, 2019. Lasting for 1,871 minutes, this “party with a purpose” unites all who love Arkansas, all around the world, in an epic outpouring of support and display of U of A pride. Last year alone, the Razorback family rallied together and collectively contributed $433,744 to 150 different funds, impacting students and programs across campus.
One of the best parts of giving back during giving day? Dollar-for-dollar matches and "bonus buck" challenges!
Challenge Donor Opportunities
Similar to on-air radio fundraisers, matches and challenges are one of the most effective ways to attract new donors and spur friendly competition among participating groups during giving day.
Select a challenge and make your gift to become an All In for Arkansas Challenge Donor today!
Gifts must be made by March 15. Prefer to give by phone or check? Contact the Office of Annual Giving at (479) 575-2944 or giveback@uark.edu for details.
