At Capital University, you can “Be the Spark” during Day of Giving! This exciting 24-hour online event invites alumni, friends, family, and the campus community to come together to be a part of a collective impact illuminating possibilities for the areas they care about most.
Every gift, no matter the size, is part of a greater collective impact in helping achieve our mission on this Day of Giving: to enhance the student experience of our students across campus, our athletic teams, downtown at the Law School, and our neighbors at Trinity Lutheran Seminary.
Help us reach our goal of 450 donors and have some fun along the way unlocking challenge funds by showing your support! Be sure to follow along on our leaderboards when we go live to see which graduating class lands on top this year.
We did it!
In 24 hours, this community has demonstrated what it means to Be the Spark and illuminate possibilities for student success!
Thank you for supporting the student and student-athlete experience here at Capital, Trinity Lutheran Seminary, and the Law School.
Thank you for sharing your light with us on this 2nd annual University-wide Day of Giving.
We could not have done it without you!
