Southwestern Giving Day 2024 has started! For the next 1840 minutes, we are asking the entire SU community to come together to support the programs, pursuits, and passions that mean so much to them.
Unlock fun matches and challenges throughout the day! There will be lots of on-campus events happening for our students to get involved! Help us celebrate our biggest philanthropic day of the year!
Gifts of all sizes are greatly appreciated, and when we bring them together, we ensure the future of a place that means so much to each of us.
Thank you, Southwestern community, for supporting our students and showing what can be accomplished when we come together during Southwestern Giving Day! Over the past two days, we've raised over $790,000 from 1,221 donors supporting over 100 various funds, departments, scholarships, student organizations, and teams.
This would not be possible without the amazing donors who offered matching and challenge gifts as well our advocates who shared Southwestern Giving Day with their networks. We also had a blast celebrating our students, faculty, and staff during our on-campus events!
Thank you for your loyalty, your generosity, and your care of our students, both current and future. Together we create an incredible learning experience and also lifelong friends.
From all of us across campus, thank you!
