ANNUAL FUND PROGRESS: $2M TO DATE

For 24 hours, our community comes together for Gaels Giving Day: a moment that creates powerful momentum for the entire year. When you make a gift today, you’re doing more than supporting a single day of giving. You’re helping accelerate our progress toward our fiscal year goals for donors, dollars, and impact; helping strengthen the foundation for everything we will achieve this year and in the year ahead. Our goal for today is bold: 500 donors in 24 hours. Each donor who participates moves us one step closer to our larger vision for this fiscal year and helps to expand opportunity, advance excellence, and support the students who rely on our Iona community.


This is our chance to create a surge of support that carries forward long after today ends. Join us and help demonstrate the Power of Iona this Gaels Giving Day. Make your gift today and help shape what’s possible for the year ahead.
