Along with departments and colleges across campus, University Libraries will promote the opportunity to donate to us on Giving Day, Feb. 11-12. Donations are managed by the University of Arizona Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the U of A through philanthropy.

Fueling wonder for current and future Wildcats

With your support, we can strengthen innovative services that provide all students with access to the technologies and learning experiences they need for academic success and career preparation. Get more information about our University Libraries Giving Day donation opportunities and challenges including:

The effort to lend needed technology to students through the U of A Main Library began with a student’s vision. The Tubbs family continues to support the tech lending program, and is matching gifts up to $5,000 to the Rhonda G. Tubbs Tech Toolshed. Students can succeed with technology basics, and the toolshed meets those needs for nearly 10,000 students each year.

Learn how one of our staff members was acknowledged for his work in tech lending: Amir Hassibi honored as Project Connect Arizona Now concludes. 

Support students like yours with a gift to the Tubbs Tech Toolshed which allows students to borrow laptops, tablets, cameras and more. The Parent and Family Association Advisory Board is matching gifts up to $2,100. 

Your gift will help us maintain our toolshed inventory for many years. Together, we can ensure U of A students don't experience learning and educational disadvantages because they can't access or afford the needed equipment.

Terry Seligman founded the CATalyst Studios Director's Fund in 2022. Seligman's belief in the power of CATalyst teaching and empower students, using technology that harnesses their creativity, and helping bring products to market, has only strengthened over time. This year, Seligman will match the first $1,500 to this incredible asset for our students.
