Duquesne Day of Giving

The Duquesne Day of Giving is an online fundraising event that will be held on Thursday, February 8, 2018. On this day, we ask that all Duquesne University alumni, faculty, staff, students, parents and friends visit www.duq.edu/dayofgiving to make an online donation to support Duquesne University and to spread the word about this event on social media with with hashtag #DUQDayofGiving.

On February 8, 2018, simply visit www.duq.edu/dayofgiving, click the "Give Now" button and fill out the brief donation form.

You decide! You can make your gift to The Duquesne Fund which supports our areas of greatest need or to the school, organization, or sports team that means the most to you. Whatever you choose, your gift will have an impact on today's students, faculty, coaches and future generations of Dukes.

If the area of campus you want to designate your gift towards is not on the list, simply select "Other," then scroll down to the comments field and type in where you would like your donation to go.

Yes! As evident by past Duquesne Day of Giving events, all of those smaller gifts really add up! Even a gift of $10 will make a difference. In addition, every gift improves Duquesne's donor participation rate, which in turn raises Duquesne's profile in national rankings and increases the value of a Duquesne degree.

The Duquesne Day of Giving is a virtual event. All donations must be made via the Duquesne Day of Giving website (www.duq.edu/dayofgiving) to count towards the day's totals.

Yes! On the donation form you will have the option to make multiple gifts to impact as many areas of campus that you would like.

We greatly appreciate your support and don't want you to feel obligated to make a second gift this year. But, feel free to take this opportunity to think of the Duquesne Day of Giving as the passing of a second collection basket. Pick a different area of campus and - big or small - feel free to make that additional gift.
