Day of Giving
A giving day is a 24-hour fundraising event that brings donors, volunteers and communities together around a common cause. Concordia’s fifth annual Day of Giving will take place Thursday, March 25, 2021. With a goal of engaging alumni, friends, parents, students and the Concordia community, the day will be filled with many opportunities for you to get involved and engage with us!
What Will The Day Look Like?
Throughout the day, donors can connect with Concordia through various virtual events. As Day of Giving continues to grow both in dollars raised and outreach, we have added new challenges and opportunities to give. Watch your social media outlets for Concordia University influencers to challenge others to support Day of Giving. Exact details for this year's Day of Giving will be shared here when they're available.
This year, Day of Giving donors can support the university, provide academic and church work scholarships and help grow the Harvest Fund, which distributes financial resources to students who would otherwise be unable to continue their academic pursuits due to financial barriers.
