#GivingTuesday 2020

UP Donors Gave From the Heart on #GivingTuesday

December 4, 2020

#GivingTuesday was last Tuesday and UP donors showed up! More than 1,100 supporters made gifts totaling over $260,000, mostly for tuition assistance and student emergency funds. These gifts help students and their families who have been impacted by wildfires, health complications, and lost wages this year. They also provide much needed funding for financial aid, UP’s academic programs, Pilot Athletics, centers, and student support services. From the bottom of our hearts — thank you to all who gave!
