About

UW Giving Day is an annual UW tradition spearheaded by the UW Foundation that raises thousands of dollars in a single day for students and programs across campus. This year, we’re looking forward to upping our game and inspiring enthusiastic donors and friends to support the university they love. UW Giving Day will take place October 19–20, noon to noon, in conjunction with Homecoming. Matches and challenges will be available to double the impact of your gift or unlock challenge funds. As you’re tailgating with other alums and enjoying the beautiful campus during Homecoming, don’t forget to stop by uwyo.edu/givingday and support those areas you care about. UW Giving Day is an amazing force for good for the University of Wyoming and its students and alums. Thank you for making it possible!
