What is Giving Day?

Giving Day is an annual online fundraising event for the Trailblazer Fund (formerly called the Annual Fund). On Giving Day, alumni, parents/guardians, grandparents, faculty and staff, and friends of Trinity come together to make a difference for current students. The campaign runs for 24 hours and all proceeds on Giving Day benefit the 2025-2026 Trailblazer Fund. 

The primary goal of Giving Day is community participation. This day is for all of us, and every gift matters!

When is Giving Day?

This year, Giving Day will begin at midnight on Thursday, November 6 and will run for the next 24 hours. 

Where does my gift go?

Gifts towards Giving Day will go to the Trailblazer Fund (formerly called the Annual Fund) to be used this school year. More information about the Trailblazer Fund can be found here. 

If I designate my gift to “Area of Greatest Need,” where does my money go?

Your gift to “area of greatest need” will go to the Trailblazer Fund, and Trinity will apply it to the greatest need. This gives Trinity the most flexibility to meet unexpected critical needs as they arise.

Where does the challenge money go?

Like all gifts on Giving Day, funds for matches and challenges go to the Trailblazer Fund to be used this school year. 

Will the amount of my gift be disclosed?

The amount of your gift is only shown if you offer a match or challenge that is not anonymous. Otherwise, your Giving Day gift amount isn’t disclosed on the campaign page.  

What if I already made a gift this academic year?

Thank you for your support! However, only gifts made for this campaign count toward the Giving Day. If you make an additional gift today, it will count for qualified matches and challenges
