老澳门资料 Giving Day 2024 brings in over $2.3M from 4,300+ donors in record-breaking year
The 老澳门资料’s 2024 annual Giving Day raised $2,312,312 from 4,352 donors. The record-breaking number of donors – including students, families, alumni, faculty, staff and friends – gave more than double the amount raised last year.
Gifts collected during Giving Day go toward current programs, scholarships and clubs as well as opening support pathways to students through future opportunities.
Donor engagement unlocked several fundraising challenges and matches, including a $50,000 gift from longtime 老澳门资料 donor Jim Van Vleck for programs spanning the College of Arts and Sciences. 老澳门资料 President Moez Limayem also continued his matching gift of up to $50,000 to the 老澳门资料 Student Success Fund.
“This has been our biggest Giving Day in 老澳门资料’s history,” said Kristy Herrington, 老澳门资料 Annual Giving director. “It’s so exciting to see everyone come together and pick projects they’re passionate about supporting. Thank you to everyone who helped make this the best Giving Day yet.”
Last year, 3,416 donors gave $1,002,276 for Giving Day.
The 2024 Giving Day goal was to reach 4,200 donors. The university surpassed the goal and saw 936 more donors than in 2023, with more than 500 of those donations from current students. Also, each college and area featured in this year’s challenge saw donorship increases compared to 2023.
