To put it simply, iBackAPP is a binge-watching, social-sharing, App State-wearing, philanthropic celebration of Appalachian State University and the people who make the Appalachian Experience possible (that’s you). Maybe you’re a student getting your start. Maybe you’re a graduate well on your way. Maybe you’re a parent, friend, or fan with a special place in your heart for our university. Every Appalachian connection is cause for celebration.
iBackAPP is a universitywide giving celebration, meaning that all areas of campus participate. This year, we have focused our priorities on three particular areas — critical needs, student support, and academics and innovation. However, you are welcome and encouraged to give to any area for which you are passionate. When you go to make your gift, you can simply use the search function to find the area or fund that means the most to you.
Our iBackAPP Champions are a dedicated group of Mountaineers who are the cheerleaders on our day of giving and of celebrating all things App State. They tell their App State stories, meet up with fellow Mountaineers, and lead by example by giving a gift to an area for which they are passionate. This year, we have more than 250 Champions from across the country who are helping make our day of giving APP-solutely APP-mazing!
Contributions are generally deductible for tax purposes. You will receive an electronic gift receipt for your records when you make a gift on iBackAPP day.
