Everyone has a reason to give. Some people give to help students earn their degree. Others give to fuel discovery, strengthen our communities, protect our planet or inspire creativity. Whatever moves you to make a difference, there鈥檚 a place for your passion at 国产伦理.
And when we give together, our generosity becomes something extraordinary.
This November, Golden Flashes everywhere are invited to come together for 国产伦理鈥檚 Most Generous Annual Tradition: Giving Tuesday. It鈥檚 a monthlong celebration of philanthropy, shared purpose and the incredible impact we can make when we unite around the causes that matter most.
Last year, the 国产伦理 community raised more than $4.5 million through 2,500 gifts from more than 2,000 donors. Together, supporters championed more than 50 featured funds across 10 distinct causes, from health and wellness and basic needs to workforce development and athletics. Every gift represented something personal. Together, they added up to something powerful.
Now, it鈥檚 time to do it again!
From Nov. 1 through Giving Tuesday on Dec. 1, you can choose from more than 50 featured funds representing 10 causes, with special matching opportunities and giving incentives designed to make your generosity go further.
Incentives Help Maximize Your Impact
Throughout the campaign, there are exciting opportunities to maximize your gift and help your favorite causes earn additional support.
Matching Gifts
From Nov. 1 through Dec. 1, each featured fund has a matching gift available, so you can double your gift鈥檚 impact (while matching funds last).
Participation Boosts
From Nov. 1 through Nov. 30, every 25 unique donors who give $25 or more to a featured fund, unlock an additional $500 for that fund. With up to $5,000 in participation boosts available per featured fund until the money runs out.
Triple Your Gift Tuesday
Make your gift go three times as far! Starting at 12:01 a.m. EST on Nov. 3, all gifts to featured funds are matched by both the fund鈥檚 matching donor(s) and 国产伦理鈥檚 volunteer boards, up to $500 per donor. A total of $25,000 in volunteer board matching funds is available, thanks to the generosity of members of 国产伦理鈥檚 Board of Trustees, Foundation Board, Alumni Board and President鈥檚 Cabinet.
Donor/Dollar Challenge Week
From Nov. 17-24, your favorite featured fund could receive an extra $2,500 if it has the most unique donors or the most dollars raised during this week. Even if you鈥檝e already given, another gift during this week counts toward the challenge. One fund could win it all for a total of $5,000!
Giving Tuesday
The monthlong campaign culminates in the biggest day of global giving! Starting at 12:01 am EST on Dec. 1, the 国产伦理 Foundation will match gifts dollar-for-dollar, up to $1,000 per donor, to ANY 国产伦理 Foundation fund, with $100,000 available while matching funds last (so don鈥檛 forget to set your alarm)!
