About πŸ”Ž

This year, Samford Giving Days has grown into a 72-hour celebration of generosity and Bulldog spirit!

From March 3–5, every gift, no matter when it’s made, will move us toward our goal.

We’ve expanded Samford Giving Days to a full three days to further highlight the meaningful work happening across all of Samford’s schools and units. At its heart, Samford Giving Days is about participation. Every gift, at every level, reinforces the strong culture of philanthropy that fuels scholarships, academic excellence, student life, and the Christ-centered mission that shapes Samford. One in every five dollars needed to operate Samford University comes from donors like you and every contribution fuels a collective effort, impacting more than 6,000 students.

When the Samford community gives together, we raise opportunities, open doors, and empower students to thrive.

Your gift during Samford Giving Days demonstrates the power of many people with one shared purpose. Whether you give to an academic school, athletics, scholarships, or a program you love, you are part of something bigger—something that strengthens Samford today and for generations to come.

Join us. Be counted. Lift Samford up. Because it truly takes all of us.

Last year, Bulldogs gave over $320,000 in a single day. This year, with three days to rally together, we can make an even greater difference.
Your generosity today helps pave the way for current and future Bulldogs.

THANK YOU!
