About

April 16, 2026 is the 12th annual Gator Give Day. Are you ready to jump In for Allegheny?

What happens if we all jump at once? On Gator Give Day, we’re finding out — together.

The rallying cry is simple, joyful, and powerful: Jump In for Allegheny. When thousands of Gators take part, the collective energy is undeniable. Every person who shows up helps lift Allegheny higher.

Gator Give Day isn’t about how much you give. It’s about what we can accomplish when we all take the leap, side by side. One gift. One gesture. One moment of pride for this special place. Your participation — at any level — fuels the scholarships, experiences, and opportunities that help every Gator find their footing and take their own leap forward. Ready? Set? Jump In for Allegheny this Gator Give Day!


Your partnership ensures that Allegheny remains a place where innovation thrives, opportunities grow, and Gators make their mark on the world. Your contribution is vital to advancing academic excellence, achieving strong student outcomes, fostering an inclusive and dynamic campus environment, and ensuring financial sustainability.

You can direct your support to make the impact that is most meaningful to you! Maybe that's to Immediate Impact Scholarships or Career & Internship Support. Or perhaps you wish to support your Academic Department, Athletic Team, or area of Performing Arts. There are over 50 options — support what you love! Can’t narrow it down to just one area? No worries — you can split your gift between up to three designations!


JOIN US AND LET’S JUMP IN FOR ALLEGHENY THIS GATOR GIVE DAY!
