The holiday season is a time for our university community to come together and support one another. If you—or a fellow U of A staff member you know—could use a little extra help making the holidays special for your family this year, Staff Senate's RazorGifts Staff Holiday Gifting Program is here to help.
Applications for the 2026 RazorGifts program are now open.
RazorGifts is an employee-to-employee giving program that connects eligible U of A staff members and their families with gifts donated by members of the university community.
Who Is Eligible?
U of A staff members and their immediate family members who reside in the same household may participate. Family members who do not live in the employee's household are not eligible. Priority is given to eligible children under age 18.
Staff members may apply for their own household, or another U of A faculty or staff member may nominate an eligible employee.
Applications are available on the Staff Senate RazorGifts website.
Application Deadline
Completed applications must be received by 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, 2026.
Applications may be submitted by email to ssgifts@uark.edu or kristah@uark.edu, or sent through campus mail/delivered in person to Krista Hoover at FBAC, 3rd Floor.
Questions may be directed to ssgifts@uark.edu
Want to Help a Razorback Family?
RazorGifts is made possible by the generosity of our university community. Faculty and staff who would like to purchase gifts or make a monetary donation can find additional information on the Staff Senate RazorGifts website.
Whether you apply for assistance, nominate a colleague or contribute to the program, RazorGifts is one way Razorbacks can take care of Razorbacks this holiday season.
RazorGifts is an employee-to-employee gifting program. Gifts made through the Staff Holiday Gift Program are made by members of the university community to eligible participating households and are not gifts to the university. The University of Arkansas is not a participant, and university resources are not used.
