Butler Day of Giving 2019

This is the fourth annual Butler Day of Giving. Our goal is for the Butler community to come together for 1,855 minutes of celebration and giving to make an impact for current and future Bulldogs. 

Absolutely. Support from the ENTIRE Butler community is what makes our University a remarkable place! No matter the designation or amount, your donation will be counted toward our Day of Giving goal of 1,000 gifts. If we reach 1,000 gifts on Day of Giving, we unlock $35,000 in general scholarship support!

Ambassadors are Butler's digital leaders who share messages and create excitement about Day of Giving before and during the day. With an investment of a few minutes, Ambassadors help spread awareness—asking their network to participate in Day of Giving using their preferred forms of communication: email, text, phone, and social media. If you are interested in becoming an Ambassador, you can register online or email swodecki@butler.edu with questions.

You decide! Support the area of campus that is important to YOU. This year we are excited to offer more challenges where gifts will be matched, as well as the opportunity for you to create your own challenge as an Ambassador. Visit the Challenges page to learn more about each of the challenges.

Challenge and matching gifts help increase support for student scholarships, special initiatives, and areas of need from groups across campus. Participating in challenge and matching opportunities on Day of Giving is a great way to multiply the impact of your support. A complete list of challenges will be on the Challenges page, and active matches and challenges can be viewed on the main landing page and participating group landing page for the specific area.

Don't forget, anyone can create a challenge or matching opportunity!

Thank you! To set up a challenge or match prior to Day of Giving, please contact our office so that we can get the details lined up. You may email Samantha Wodecki at swodecki@butler.edu or call 317-940-9469. 

If you want to create a challenge or match on Day of Giving, simply navigate to your Ambassador homepage and scroll to the bottom. There you will click on the "Create a New Challenge/Match" button and follow the steps!

Please direct your gift to the area that is most important to YOU! Our goal for the day is 1,000 gifts to unlock $35,000 in general scholarship support. No matter which challenge or matching opportunity you support, your gift will be counted toward our 1,000 gift goal.
