Giving Day - Tuesday, October 28, 2025

Giving Day is all about celebrating Lawrence! We are so excited to be bringing the celebration on campus with different engagement events for our students, faculty, and staff. We will even be doing fun giveaways just for students! Join us around campus as we celebrate Lawrence this Giving Day!

What’s the best way to celebrate 12 years of giving?

Give! Each and every part of the Lawrence community is positively impacted by the funds raised during our annual Giving Day. If you can, make a gift of any size on October 28! All student donations will get matched with $500. If now's not the time for you to donate, join us for Campus Gratitude Events as we take time to be grateful for those who are giving today. Their support impacts every student, every day.
