ABOUT GIVING DAY

During these challenging times, it is more important than ever to support students, faculty, and programs at the University of Wyoming. Join us again this year as we celebrate the sixth annual University of Wyoming Giving Day. It will be a great day to be a Cowboy or Cowgirl, to support the Wyoming family, and to come together to make a positive difference in the lives of so many.

This year, we’re trying something a little different. We will be holding UW Giving Day from noon to noon, on November 12-13. Our theme this year: 24 means more! We know that your generosity—combined with the gifts of hundreds of UW alumni and friends—will mean more to the life of a student, to the mission of a department or college, and to the direction of Wyoming’s university.

If you’ve already given this year, thank you! We encourage you to make another gift on UW Giving Day, as only donations made during these 24 hours will count toward our Giving Day total. Your additional gift will inspire others to give as well!

In 2019, UW Giving Day raised $1.6 million in gifts and pledges in a single day. More than 1,000 donors gave gifts ranging from $1 to thousands of dollars in support of 85 different areas across campus. Donations came from all 50 states and from around the world.

UW Giving Day is more than just the total money raised, however. It is also about creating a culture of philanthropy, gratitude, and giving back—not only at the University of Wyoming but across the state. 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.
