About

Commit to Witt 2026

Join us Thursday, March 19, 2026, as Wittenberg Tigers nationwide come together for Commit to Witt, Wittenberg University’s annual day of giving!

Your support helps ensure that Wittenberg continues to provide an exceptional education and meaningful college experience for our students. On the Wittenberg Way, our students discern their calling, develop the knowledge and skills needed for successful careers, and prepare for purposeful and fulfilling lives. We're grateful for your dedication and commitment.

Make an Impact
Every gift, no matter the size, makes an impact. Any amount. Any fund. You are leaving a legacy and helping to ensure that this University will stand resilient for years to come. 

Double Your Impact by Taking Advantage of Special Challenges
During Commit to Witt, you’ll have an opportunity to take advantage of special challenges that unlock additional support for the departments, programs, student organizations, teams, and the University that you love.

Be on the lookout for unique challenges throughout the day, including our 50 States Challenge, where Steve Wake ’74 will donate $50,000 once gifts are received from all 50 states and Washington D.C., and the student Where’s Ezry Challenge, where finding Ezry the Tiger on campus helps unlock a special $10,000 challenge benefiting The Wittenberg Fund. Scroll down to explore the rest of our matches and challenges, leaderboards, and the 50 States map to see how your gift can help unlock even more support for Wittenberg.

Show Your Tiger Pride
You will have 24 hours to show your Tiger Pride. Throughout the day, you can join fellow Tigers as they compete for advocate bragging rights and race to the top of several leaderboards.
