Yale Law School’s 3rd Annual Giving Day is here!
YLS Giving Day 2026 is an opportunity for our community to come together in support of the people and programs that make Yale Law School extraordinary!
Whether you support financial aid, legal clinics, faculty scholarship or centers and initiatives, your participation in Giving Day 2026 helps to strengthen Yale Law School and expand its impact.
Amplify your support by taking part in a match or a challenge created by fellow alumni and friends, or create your own challenge or match with a gift of any size. Become a Giving Day advocate and inspire others to join in the day!
This year’s Giving Day will feature a special Yale Law cap from Crew Dog, a company founded by Yale alumni, as a thank-you to select supporters.
