GivingTuesday brings in more than $22,000 in donations for Gallaudet

Thank you to everyone who gave to Gallaudet during GivingTuesday this year! Together we raised more than $22,000 for the University on this annual global day of giving. More than half of the total funds raised went to the Necessity of Now (NOW) campaign.

NOW will fund the creation of an equitable outdoor learning space on Gallaudet's campus called the Louise B. Miller Pathways and Gardens: A Legacy to Black Deaf Children as well as student scholarships, research, and programming at our Center for Black Deaf Studies.

We want to give special recognition to the Student Body Government and Graduate Student Association for their generous donations to NOW. SBG gave $5,000 and GSA gave $3,000. SBG's donation reaches the matching gift threshold and will be matched dollar for dollar and their name will be listed on the donor recognition wall in the Pathways and Gardens. Thanks to SBG and GSA for their amazing gifts to the campaign!

All NOW gifts and pledges of $5,000 and above that are paid off by December 2025 will be matched dollar for dollar by an anonymous alumni donor. Names of matching donors will be included in the donor recognition wall.

Institutional Advancement staff had three GivingTuesday stations on campus during the day with NOW information and swag. Athletics held an intramural event in the evening which featured another GivingTuesday station. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to make a gift or to pick up information about the Necessity of Now campaign.

Sending our heartfelt gratitude for supporting awareness, freedom, remembrance, and healing on GivingTuesday 2023!
