Give-N-Day was first organized in 2018 as a way for student organizations, academic programs and athletics to raise money in a way they couldn’t before. Give-N-Day is an opportunity for donors to directly benefit an organization, department or athletic team of their choosing, donating as little as $10 or as much as they want to one organization or spread across as many as possible. Every cent goes directly to the donor’s organization(s) of choice.Â
