About


A Day to Shine. A Future Made Brighter.

Capital University’s Day of Giving is more than a 24-hour fundraiser—it’s a celebration of our shared vision and the impact we create together.

This year, we invite alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends to share their light and help build a brighter future. Every gift—no matter the amount—fuels innovation, strengthens our community, and supports the next generation of leaders, scholars, and athletes.

You can choose how you make an impact. Support the Capital Fund and university departments (our areas of greatest need), the Law Excellence Fund (advancing the law school’s mission), the Trinity Fund (empowering the seminary’s future), and Athletics Booster Funds (fueling our teams and student-athletes).

Together, let’s reach our goal of 550 donors and illuminate new possibilities for our students and programs.

Spread the word, rally your networks, and be part of the collective impact!
