Giving Guide: UA Little Rock Foundation

MISSION

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Foundation collaborates with business and community leaders, and alumni nationwide, to create opportunities for existing and future students. 

The UA Little Rock Foundation is launching its Centennial Campaign this fall to build upon student scholarships, equip faculty to deliver excellence in higher education, enhance classroom technology and the campus community. Through engagement with industry leaders and dedication to job placement, the university is preparing tomorrow’s leaders — today. The impact of the university is felt through its graduates, of which 85% live and work in central Arkansas.
