Boston University is excited to announce that Giving Day is back, as the 24-hour online fundraising initiative returns on Tuesday, April 11, 2023.
All gifts to BU Athletics on Giving Day will be wide-reaching, empowering the next generation of leaders and making an impact on the day-to-day to experience of current Terrier student-athletes.
On Giving Day 2022, Terrier Nation came together to contribute more than $1,000,000 for the fifth consecutive year, as alumni, parents and friends made gifts totaling $1,267,159 in support of varsity programs. The final tally represented 40 percent of the $3 million raised in total across campus.
Giving Day 2023 - The Challenges
Thousands of dollars in bonus funds are up for grabs for each varsity team again this year through the following challenges:
Athletics Young Alumni Participation Challenge (Classes 2013-22): Each team that receives a total number of new* gifts from their program's young alumni from the past 10 years, equal to or greater than the size of the current team roster, will receive a share of a bonus. Example: The women's basketball team has 12 student-athletes on its roster. In order to receive a share of the bonus, 12 women's basketball young alumnae will need to contribute as part of Giving Day.
*Defined as not having given yet during fiscal year 2023 (July 1, 2022 – today)
Team Revenue Head-to-Head Challenge: Each varsity program will be matched up against another team, with the team that raises the most in each matchup earning a bonus.
*New* Beat Your Best: Each team that surpasses its Giving Day record for total dollars raised will receive a bonus.
Individual Varsity Team Challenges: Donor opportunities to sponsor dollar-for-dollar individual varsity team challenges beginning at $5,000+ to encourage leadership level support from alumni, parents and friends.
The initiative has proven to be incredibly impactful to BU student-athletes and teams. With your help, we look forward to another record-breaking year.
