KEEP CALM AND HELP STUDENTS VANDAL ON
A Moment of Giving. A Lifetime of Impact.

Our Vandal family is strong and resilient. When called upon to help, we respond with compassion and generosity. This very special Vandal Giving Day is about standing together, tried and true, for our students who have braved unprecedented changes.

 

Vandal Giving Day 2020 is prioritizing scholarships and related funds that will help students continue their education this fall. We look forward to the day we welcome students back to campus safely, where they will carry on the Vandal legacy of excellence.

 

Make a gift today and make a difference for today's students and tomorrow's leaders.

 

Are you ready? Here's how you can help:

  • Make a gift and help your favorite areas unlock additional funds through challenges and matches.
  • Be a Vandal Giving Day Ambassador and boost Vandal Giving Day through your personal networks!
  • After you make your gift, spread the word on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram by using #VANDALSGIVE
