Prepare for 24 hours of excitement and philanthropy at Northeastern University’s Giving Day—an event dedicated to rallying alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends in support of the university and the College of Science. This year marks the 7th annual celebration of Giving Day at Northeastern.
What sets this day apart? Giving Day is a moment for the entire community to come together, showing their solidarity and pride in supporting the university’s mission. When you contribute on Giving Day, your donation goes even further, amplifying its impact as it unlocks additional contributions from generous benefactors through our timed challenges. Witness the progress unfold in real-time on our website.
When does Giving Day occur? Mark your calendars for Thursday, April 11. While most challenges and leaderboards will be activated on the day itself, you can participate in the Early Access giving period by making your donation now. If your schedule is packed on April 11, don’t worry—your contribution made beforehand will still count towards our Giving Day totals.
