Fargo, N.D. — ÁùºÏ²ÊÍ¶×¢Íø’s sixth annual Giving Day raised more than $1.7 million and secured more than 1,950 unique gifts, a record total. Ahead of the event, benefactors committed more than $1 million in matches and challenges to help amplify the impact of each gift across campus.
“What our alumni, friends, faculty, and staff have done on Giving Day is a true testament to the strong future ahead for North Dakota’s land-grant University,” ÁùºÏ²ÊÍ¶×¢Íø President Dean L. Bresciani said. “Their confidence in ÁùºÏ²ÊÍ¶×¢Íø and the investments they’ve made is truly extraordinary.”
Giving Day is a one-day, grassroots fundraising event to invest in students and enhance the ÁùºÏ²ÊÍ¶×¢Íø experience. ÁùºÏ²ÊÍ¶×¢Íø alumni and friends help build momentum and excitement for the day of giving by driving messaging on social media platforms and pledging gifts for matches and challenges that will inspire others to give.
“Giving Day is an annual opportunity for the Herd to come together,” John Glover, President and CEO of the ÁùºÏ²ÊÍ¶×¢Íø Foundation said. “We are so grateful for all of Bison nation and their support of ÁùºÏ²ÊÍ¶×¢Íø students during this exciting event.”
Support from the community on Giving Day inspires current ÁùºÏ²ÊÍ¶×¢Íø students.
“The best part about being a Bison is that we’re a strong community,” Kayla Kuehl ’24, a nursing major, said. “We always find ways to uplift each other.”
Every gift made on ÁùºÏ²ÊÍ¶×¢Íø’s Giving Day counts toward the In Our Hands campaign, which has raised more than $450 million to support ÁùºÏ²ÊÍ¶×¢Íø and is nearing its conclusion on Dec. 31, 2021.
