University of Arizona Foundation

Tucson, Arizona | Client Since 2013

With a focus on excellence, achievement, and integrity, the University of Arizona Foundation’s fundraising and distribution records are impressive. In 2018 alone, the Foundation secured over $300 million in gifts and commitments, nearly meeting their billion-dollar endowment goal.

One student directly impacted by the Foundation’s work is Shirley Riley (’18), a four-time Paralympic medalist and winner of the wheelchair division of the 2012 Boston Marathon. Through the provision of a donor-supported tuition grant, Riley was offered the chance to join the University of Arizona’s 2018 graduating class.

The Foundation was also integral in supporting UA Adaptive Athletes, the nation’s largest wheelchair and adaptive collegiate-based sports program, which initially recruited Riley as a student-athlete. With targeted fundraising, a robust alumni network, and a strong vision for UA’s future, the Foundation helps ensure the success of current and future students.
