Day of Generosity 2026

On behalf of all of us at Aurora University, thank you! The gifts made today will make a lasting impact on our community and campus far into the future! We are so thankful for your commitment and support! 

Did you know that 97% of our incoming undergraduate students receive financial assistance? Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, AU students receive meaningful support toward their tuition through scholarships and grants. When 12 donors give $100 each, it adds up to something powerful — a full year of books and supplies for a student. Be one of the 12!

Only three hours left in Day of Generosity! Thanks to this incredible community, we’re going above and beyond our initial goal. Be part of the final push and help us cross the finish line!

Did you know in just one month, the AU Wellness Center may see approximately 100 students for mental health services? The need for accessible care is critical for students — and AU is proud to offer these services at no cost to them thanks to funds such as the Future Promise Fund. Make a gift now to support the well-being of our AU community. 

We are halfway there, Spartans! Let’s finish strong — there are a few BIG donor challenges and match campaigns left to unlock. Every dollar and donor counts!

Did you know approximately 20 students visit Libby’s Place, AU’s on-campus food pantry, each week? This academic year alone, Libby’s Place has distributed over 11,500 grocery items to more than 175 students.

Gifts made in support of Libby’s Place help ensure all AU students have access to groceries and are in an environment where they feel nourished and safe.

Thank you for helping us meet this match!

Way to go, Spartans! Thanks to your support, an additional $10,000 in match funds has been released to benefit our students. Your time at AU has given you a unique perspective on where charitable contributions can be most effective. Thank you for your gifts and guidance! 

Thanks to a generous group of donors, from now until to 2 p.m., every gift will be matched dollar for dollar until a $5,000 match fund is exhausted. All gifts during this time will support Libby’s Place, AU's on-campus food pantry that helps ensure food insecurity isn’t a barrier to education. 

Please take a minute on your lunch break to help unlock this critical support for our students!

Let’s show what Spartan spirit looks like when we come together!
