What’s your superpower? Anybody can be a hero on April 10, SLU Giving Day. Get ready to help us fight for the greater good and change lives.

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.

Consider making your own matching or challenge gift to encourage others to support SLU. Historically, 87% of projects with a specific challenge met or exceeded their goal.
