Giving Day 2026 marks Vanderbilt’s 10th Giving Day—10 years of collective generosity, shared purpose, and impact that reaches far beyond a single day.
This year, your support of Vanderbilt Recovery Support helps ensure that students navigating recovery are never alone. Your Giving Day gift strengthens a community rooted in accountability, compassion and hope—a place where students are empowered not just to persist, but to truly flourish.
At Vanderbilt, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to dare to grow. VRS makes that possible by creating a campus environment where recovery is respected, supported and celebrated.
Why It Matters
Your Giving Day support will:
- Foster connection and community by creating supportive spaces where students in recovery can build meaningful relationships and know they are not alone.
- Expand access to life-changing resources by strengthening recovery coaching, peer support, educational programming and community events that help students thrive academically and personally.
- Promote lasting well-being and resilience by advancing recovery-informed practices that empower students to sustain healthy, balanced lives at Vanderbilt and beyond.
