Ready to go big, WashU? Our third annual Giving Day is almost here!

From its storied history to its talented students, renowned faculty to groundbreaking research, there are countless reasons Washington University is so special. And for the third year in a row, we’re coming together as One WashU to celebrate every one of them with a 24-hour fundraising blitz.

It’s easy to participate: Simply make a gift of any amount to any area before midnight on April 9.

Your participation is crucial to our success — and makes a world of difference for our students, faculty, and researchers. So whether you want to honor a beloved professor, drive innovation, support your favorite Bears team, or pay it forward to today’s students, this is the day to make it happen!

Let’s go big for our students and our future!

P.S. There’s no need to wait until April 9! Start the celebration early by making a gift today, and we’ll count your contribution on Giving Day.
