Day of Giving 2025

WHAT IS DAY OF GIVING? Day of Giving is a 24-hour community giving campaign in which the entire Norfolk Collegiate community comes together to support the school. In it's seventh year, we are excited to announce a $500,000 goal!

This year's Day of Giving celebrates our Portrait of an Oak - a reflection of the character, curiosity and compassion we see in our students. All funds raised on Day of Giving support the Collegiate Fund, supporting all aspects of the Collegiate education and experience - from technology, project based learning, musicals and athletics. Every student is directly impacted by gifts made to the Collegiate Fund on this day.

WHY IS YOUR SUPPORT IMPORTANT ON DAY OF GIVING? Whether you give a one time gift, set up a recurring gift or offer a match or challenge gift, your support on Day of Giving is critical to continuing the experience and education our students and faculty have at Norfolk Collegiate. We count on the community to step up and support the school together on November 13.

In the days leading up to the Day of Giving, be sure to look at the following ways to be involved and maximize your support to the school.
