Elevate Essential Needs on Giving Tuesday

This Giving Tuesday, make a difference by contributing to the Essential Needs Impact Fund. 

Many students encounter difficulties during college—academic pressures, personal challenges, or unexpected life disruptions. For some, these challenges extend beyond coursework to securing stable housing or covering basic needs. The Essential Needs Impact Fund helps address these critical moments, offering housing support, emergency assistance, and essential resources so students can stay enrolled and continue moving forward. This fund supports all Lumberjacks—whether they study on the Flagstaff campus, online, statewide, or as non-traditional students balancing school with work and family.

Your Impact  Their Future

When you give to the Essential Needs Impact Fund, your gift bridges the gap for students facing hardships, demonstrating the compassion that defines our Lumberjack community. Your gift on Giving Tuesday makes a direct impact on Lumberjack lives, showing students that when they face obstacles on their path to graduation, their university community is there to help with navigation. 

Why Give? 

Your donation today is more than a contribution to our CARE, it's a message of hope and belonging. Together, we can provide the safety net our students need, ensuring every Lumberjack has the opportunity to succeed, no matter the challenges they face.

Let's show Lumberjacks you "BE-LEAF" in their potential.  Ready to make an impact? Click the "STILL TIME" button now and make your Axe of Kindness count!
