About

Giving Day is one big day to celebrate Lawrence and all the experiences that make a student's time here extraordinary. Every gift to the Lawrence Fund creates more opportunities for students to learn, explore, connect, and thrive—in the classroom, around campus, and beyond. Every gift adds up to more possibilities for Lawrence students.

For the 13th Annual Giving Day, every donation will be matched thanks to our Game Changers. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Gifts from the Classes of 2010-2030 will be matched with $500
  • All other gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar

All gifts to Lawrence from now through October 21 are eligible for this match and count toward our Giving Day totals.

Thank you for providing more opportunities to current students!
