2026 Day of Giving

Welcome to JCU's Day of Giving 2026!

On Friday, April 10, 2026, the Blue Streak community will come together for a singular purpose - to Inspire our Future!

For decades, John Carroll University has been defined by a commitment to excellence, service, and leadership. This Day of Giving is our chance to celebrate the rich traditions that shaped us while investing in the bold innovations that will define the next generation of Blue Streaks.

Why Your Support Matters

This isn't just one campaign; it is a collective effort to fuel the entire JCU experience. Today, you have the power to direct your generosity to the areas that mean the most to you. We are raising vital funds for over 50 campus departments and organizations, including:

• Academic Excellence: Supporting faculty research and classroom innovation.
• Student Life: Funding the clubs, leadership programs, and faith-based initiatives that build community.
• Athletics: Providing our student-athletes with the resources to compete at the highest level.
• Scholarships: Ensuring a Jesuit education remains accessible to talented students, regardless of their financial background.

How to Get Involved

1. Give: Make a gift to your favorite department or program. No matter the size, every gift counts toward our goal!
2. Advocate: Use the built-in sharing tools to spread the word. Personal pleas from alumni and friends are the #1 reason others choose to give.
3. Challenge: Keep an eye on our leaderboard for exciting matching gifts and challenges that can double or even triple your impact throughout the day.

Let’s show the world what it means to be a Blue Streak. Join us in honoring where we’ve been and ensuring a vibrant future for John Carroll University.
