Southeastern Giving Day has become an annual fall tradition since it was first implemented in 2014. The initiative encourages all members of the University community to come together for 24 hours in support of Southeastern and its students.

Developing momentum, Giving Day has continually grown over the years in both numbers of participants and amounts raised. During this past year’s event, held Sept. 14, 1,472 people turned out to raise $303,541. This was an increase of 31 percent in participants and 22 percent in donations as compared to the ’21 event, which was itself a record-breaking year. Giving Day ’22 also kept with the established structure of allowing people to choose where their money goes by contributing directly to the college, department, or initiative of their choice.

To date, well over $1 million has been raised for our University and all those it serves.

Mark your calendar now to join in during this year’s event—Sept. 14, ’23—to help keep the tradition and impact growing.
