A Bantam for Every Bantam
Trinity Giving Day is Wednesday, April 21, 2021. This year, our goal is to secure 2,189 donors โ representing a donor for every Trinity student. A generous group of donors have joined the challenge and pledged to give an additional $500,000 if 2,189 alumni, parents, and friends are inspired to make a gift for Giving Day.
Help us exceed our goal by making your Giving Day gift today and showing that you are #AllinforTrin. All gifts made between on April 14 through April 22 are counted toward our Giving Day goal.

With more than 300 energized fundraising volunteers leading the way, Trinity Collegeโs Giving Day 2021 proved to be a triumph for the Trinity community, raising $1.97 million, which includes a $500,000 challenge gift that a group of generous donors pledged to give if the Giving Day donor goal was achieved.
This yearโs goal was 2,189 donors—one for each Trinity student—and that goal was exceeded by 64 as the total donor count reached 2,253.
