What is SLU Giving Day?
SLU Giving Day is Saint Louis University’s annual 24-hour philanthropic campaign. It has raised
more than $2.3 million for SLU since launching in 2017 in the form of more than 5,884
gifts. More than $619,000 was raised in 2024, making it among the most successful
Giving Days to date. Here’s how staff, faculty and students can help make this year
even more impactful:
Help spread the word about SLU Giving Day as an advocate. Help us share the importance of supporting SLU and the variety of projects that will benefit on
Giving Day. Giving Day advocates are entered to win prizes and play an impactful role
in helping fundraise for specific causes.
Not sure what to say? Once we receive 500 SLU Giving Day gifts in 2025, we’ll unlock
a generous $100,000 gift to the University, so make sure to share that every gift
counts! Watch the video to learn more.
Make a gift of any size! Early giving starts on Wednesday, April 3. Need a little inspiration? Consider supporting a fund that has a matching or challenge gift associated.
