Can I support more than one area?
Yes! You can support multiple areas of Bryant by selecting additional designations when making your gift.

Giving Day challenges provide opportunities to unlock additional funding when specific donor participation or fundraising goals are met. Your gift can help your favorite area reach its goal!
Some challenges are available throughout early giving and Giving Day, while others are limited to specific hours on November 5.
Does my early gift count toward Giving Day leaderboards and challenges?
Yes! Gifts made during early giving count toward eligible leaderboards and challenges, including participation-based challenges. The only exceptions are challenges that specifically require gifts during designated hours on November 5.
Where does the challenge money go?
Bonus dollars from the leaderboards, hourly challenges, and all-day challenges will go to each winning program's area of greatest need.
