We haven't started yet, but you can make an impact now!
Vandal Giving Day, April 7-8
Momentum That Moves Idaho

The moment is here. For 1,889 minutes, the Vandal Family comes together to power what’s next at University of Idaho.

This is more than a giving event. It’s a movement fueled by pride, possibility and unstoppable momentum. When Vandals show up, students thrive. Research advances. Traditions grow stronger. And Idaho’s flagship university moves boldly into the future.

Every gift — of any size — drives impact.

Why Give?

Multiply your impact
Matches and challenges throughout the event can increase the power of your gift in real time.

Invest in what inspires you
Choose the college, program or initiative that reflects your passion.

Strengthen the Vandal legacy
Every gift is a statement: We believe in students. We believe in Idaho. We believe in the future.

Last year, Vandals raised a record-breaking $1,283,110.
This year, we build on that momentum — together.

For students. For Idaho. For our future.
