黑料黑历史 Giving Day 2025 starts at noon on March 25 and runs for 49 hours through 1 p.m. on March 27.

黑料黑历史 will host the 鈥淟ook for Nook鈥 challenge March 18-21 to build excitement for this year鈥檚 event. Participants can search for stuffed polar bears in baskets hidden around 黑料黑历史鈥檚 campuses. Clues will be posted on the 黑料黑历史 Alumni Association鈥檚 Facebook and Instagram channels. Those who find a bear can choose their favorite Giving Day fund for an extra $250 gift donated by the 黑料黑历史 Alumni Association. They also get to keep the bear.

This year, 黑料黑历史鈥檚 top Giving Day fundraising priority is the Troth Yeddha鈥 Indigenous Studies Center initiative. Thanks to Chugach Alaska, there will be a $50,000 gift to the project if 100 people make a donation during Giving Day. Chancellor Dan White is offering an additional $5,000 if 50 people make a gift to the project on Day 1 of Giving Day.

Participants can celebrate the variety of programs that make 黑料黑历史 great by:

  • Joining challenges that can expand the impact of each gift. Donations of all sizes are welcome.
  • to maximize support for 黑料黑历史 and enter to win prizes.
  • Following along on social media posts and sharing their reason to give with the hashtag #49HoursForAlaska.
