Make a Gift
Gifts to the I³R Inspire Fund support hands-on student research and community-focused programs, including K-12 STEM camps, public speakers, and multidisciplinary industry projects.
The Inspire fund is all about investing in our students and community—educating, empowering, and supporting the next generation of researchers, innovators, and problem-solvers. Your contribution will go directly to initiatives that are directly tied to our mission:
- Hands-On Research Opportunities: Provide high school, undergraduate, and graduate students from across Arkansas—including the University of Arkansas system, NorthWest Arkansas Community College, and other state institutions—access to leading-edge, interdisciplinary research experiences that prepare them for impactful careers.
- Community-Driven Initiatives: Support programs including interactive speaker series, immersive educational camps, integrated arts and science performances and workshops, and collaborative multidisciplinary projects with industries to address real-world challenges.
The Inspire Fund is about creating lasting impact, both within our institute and across the entire Arkansas community. Your voluntary, tax-deductible gift, no matter the size, will help us continue empowering others and strengthening our commitment to a brighter future. As I³R team members, we are all already a part of something that will make a real difference for years to come; however, your contribution of any size to the Inspire Fund will demonstrate our shared vision and amplify that impact, allowing us to reach even more students, researchers, and communities.
Give now to make your tax-deductible gift to the I3R Inspire Fund. To give, select "one-time" or "recurring" donation, then select "Other," and designate "I³R Inspire Fund." Thank you for being part of this exciting journey. Please direct questions to Delia Garcia at deliag@uark.edu.
