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.

We are so proud to be the technology platform powering over twenty-five incredibly impactful Giving Days for education institutions so far in 2020. These schools range in all shapes and sizes, and each has a unique mission and purpose for hosting a Giving Day to benefit their school’s community.

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.

We sat down with Ashley Budd, the Director of Digital Marketing for Alumni Affairs and Development at Cornell University. She shared insights from her experience managing the annual Cornell Giving Day on March 12, 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis.

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