New updated goal!

We’re so grateful and inspired by the incredible outpouring of support we’ve seen today! Because of this tremendous response, we’re raising our goal.

Thanks to generous donors across our DU community, we reached our original goal of 250 donors. Your support is creating meaningful opportunities for students and strengthening the programs that help them succeed. With only a few hours left in Giving Tuesday, we want to build on this strong show of support and extend our impact.

Our new goal is 315 donors, and we’re currently at 296. We’re within reach, and your participation can help close the gap before the day ends. There are also some amazing matching gifts still in play that can help you double your impact for the project you care about.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps expand access, enhance resources across campus, and support learning that prepares students for purposeful lives and careers. Please continue to share this campaign with your networks and encourage others to join you in supporting DU.

Together, we can reach this new goal and finish Giving Tuesday on a high note!

Giving Tuesday is Today!

Thanks to the generosity of our DU community, we’ve already reached 80% of our donor goal, and together we’ve raised over $55,000 to support students, faculty, and key initiatives across DU.

Every gift strengthens the opportunities, resources, and experiences that help students learn, grow, and lead purposeful lives. Your support today fuels meaningful initiatives across campus.

If you haven’t made your gift yet, there’s still time to join the momentum and help us reach our Giving Tuesday goals.

Thank you for being part of this global day of generosity and for supporting the DU community. Let’s make an impact together!

One week from Giving Tuesday!

We’re one week away from Giving Tuesday and our DU community is already making a meaningful impact.

Thanks to early supporters, we’re 33% of the way to our donor goal, and many of our projects are gaining exciting momentum. Your generosity ensures students access opportunities that shape their education, strengthen our campus, and support learning that leads to purposeful lives and careers.

Every gift supports the experiences and resources that help students thrive. If you haven’t made your gift yet, now is a great moment to join the community driving this year’s progress.

Let’s keep the momentum building and finish strong!
