In this episode of Giving & Gabbing, we connect with Nicholls State University’s Giving Day planning team - Jeremy Becker, the Executive Director of Nicholls Foundation; Hillary Charpentier, Development Director; and Katherine Mabile, Director of Alumni Affairs to discuss how they facilitate student participation during Give N Day.

In this episode of Giving & Gabbing, we welcomed Higher-Ed fundraising specialist Michelle Mullins onto our show. Michelle is the Assistant Director of Integrated Marketing Strategy at the College of Charleston (CofC) and oversees their annual Giving Day, CofC Day.

Giving Days are 24-hour (or longer) digital fundraising challenges that aim to rally groups of people to support a particular region, cause, event, or organization. They generate excitement and create a sense of unity for all involved, all while raising funds and filling critical needs.

This GivingTuesday, GiveGab will support many incredible Giving Days happening nationwide!

A Giving Day is a 24-hour (or longer) online fundraising challenge that aims to rally groups of people around a particular state/region, cause, holiday/event, or educational institution.

GiveGab is the most innovative platform for education advancement. We work closely with our Higher Education and K-12 partners to identify their fundraising needs, offer solutions that will allow them to create lasting impact in their school’s communities, and provide them with insightful resources. We offer a robust online fundraising suite including best-in-class Giving Day and Crowdfunding technology designed with your school’s continued success at the forefront.

Colleges, Universities, and K-12 schools are facing the direct implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, many of GiveGab’s education partners have pivoted their Giving Days to create virtual events and emergency relief funds in order to support their campuses.

Hosting a Giving Day for your college or university can be considered the finish line of a marathon of fundraising planning and communication.
