Day of Giving a Resounding Success: Over $1.5 Million Raised

Purdue Fort Wayne's annual Day of Giving drew strong community support, raising a record-breaking $1,505,909 from 1,137 donations by midnight. This initiative, highlighting the university's "Big Give" fundraising effort, continues to directly benefit student success through increased donations from alumni and supporters.

Thanks to the tremendous generosity of our Mastodon community, we witnessed the incredible power of coming together for our students.

A special thank you to all of the support staff, social media wizzes, student workers, and leadership who leveraged their time and talent to promote the Big Give. Your hard work and dedication are greatly appreciated!
