FAYETTEVILLE -- Contributions to the nonprofit organization supporting athletics at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville totaled $28.1 million in the 12-month period ending June 30, 2018, a decrease in giving of about $8.4 million compared with the previous fiscal year.
The decrease marked the second consecutive year of declining donations to the Razorback Foundation, based on the organization's annual 990 IRS return dated May 14.
The foundation provides financial support for UA student-athlete scholarships, building and renovation projects and other athletics-related programming.
The 990 document lists information related to the foundation's obligation to pay Bret Bielema after his firing as head football coach in November 2017.
