About the Chancellor’s Circle

Logo reading The Chancellor's Circle UAMS

Chancellor’s Circle donors like you make annual grants possible for UAMS’ highest priorities: supporting innovative research, advancing patient care, and strengthening education across Arkansas. The impact of your support will be felt for years to come.

The Chancellor’s Circle is the premier annual giving society for the entire UAMS system. With an annual gift of $2,000, you join a group of dedicated philanthropists who collectively provide critical funding for programs in clinical care, education, and research.

Chancellor C. Lowry Barnes, M.D., distributes these funds through competitive grants that address UAMS’ highest priorities. Because of you, these investments can help attract distinguished scholars, purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment, and advance research that strengthens the health of Arkansans.

Since its inception in 1984, generous donors have contributed more than $10 million to support the UAMS mission.

We are grateful to our Chancellor’s Circle partners whose generosity empowers us to improve the health of communities we serve.
