Celebrate our 50th birthday during this 50-hour giving challenge. Wright State has created a 50-year legacy of providing an affordable, exceptional education to more than 100,000 alumni.
Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference and will make an impact on our students and for the next 50 years. Together, we can provide a great experience for all Raiders.
Maximize your impact: To celebrate our 50th birthday, the Wright State University Foundation will contribute an additional $50 when you designate your gift to the Rise. Shine. Scholarship (up to 200 donors).

Over the last 50 hours, we asked the Raider community to step up
and tackle a truly ambitious task—reach 500 donors in honor of Wright Stateโs
50th birthday on our first-ever Wright Day to Give. The results certainly
surpassed anything weโve ever seen before! It was amazing to see the
global community of Wright State come together to step up for students. The
Wright Day to Give reached donors from coast to coast, plus Japan, the
Philippines, and Canada.
On behalf of all Wright State students who will benefit significantly from your
gift, thank you for your dedication and commitment to Wright Stateโs continued
success. We sincerely want to thank every Raider and every friend of Wright
State who has made an impact for our 50th year.
