Check out responses to a couple of Giving Day questions to use as conversation starters.

What is Giving Day at UChicago?

Giving Day is 24 hours of collaborative fundraising to support the University of Chicago’s students, faculty, and world-changing research. Giving Day also magnifies the power of each gift—of $1 or more—through targeted matches and challenges from generous donors. Most of all, Giving Day is an opportunity to come together to support a variety of UChicago’s schools, divisions, programs, and initiatives—closing the gaps not filled by tuition or endowment funds.

What does a gift support?

Everything! Gifts can be directed to the schools, departments, research initiatives, campus activities, or programs that mean the most to the donor, or they can be applied to areas of greatest need. What matters most is that everyone who gives becomes part of building UChicago for tomorrow.
