ABOUT UW GIVING DAY

UW Giving Day is an annual UW tradition spearheaded by the UW Foundation that raises thousands of dollars in a single day for students and programs across campus

“UW Giving Day is about creating a culture of philanthropy, gratitude, and giving back,” says Jack Tennant, Director of Annual Giving. “It’s about bringing together all those who love Wyoming and its university and uniting them behind the common purposes of education, research, and service.”

This year, we’re looking forward to upping our game and inspiring enthusiastic donors and friends to support the university that they love. UW Giving Day will take place October 20–21, noon to noon, in conjunction with Homecoming. Matches and challenges will be available double the impact of your gift or unlock challenge funds.

As you’re tailgating with other alums and enjoying the beautiful campus during Homecoming, don’t forget to stop by uwyo.edu/givingday and support those areas you care about.

“UW Giving Day is the one event that brings together every campaign and individually celebrates each of them in the spirit of giving,” Tennant says.

UW Giving Day is an amazing force for good for the University of Wyoming and its students and alums. Thank you for making it possible!
