About

Giving Day is a special one-day event that rallies the LU community to support their favorite areas of the college. It’s a fantastic chance to unite and celebrate all things Lawrence! Every gift, no matter the size, makes a HUGE difference.

For the 11th Annual Giving Day, every donation will be matched thanks to our Game Changers. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Gifts from the Classes of 2008-2028 will be matched with $500
  • All other gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar

Thank you for providing more opportunities to current and future Lawrentians!

📣 Three cheers for our students! 📣

Today on campus our students helped us release $7,500 of Game Changer funds! Not only did they get the chance to participate in Giving Day, but they had fun doing it! Funds were released through on campus games and activities. A HUGE thanks to our students!
