Upper Iowa Will Celebrate GivingTuesday
Fayette, IA (11/20/2024) — Upper Iowa University will participate in the global GivingTuesday event on Tuesday, December 3. This holiday is always the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. It is a day for individuals, communities and organizations worldwide to unite for one common purpose: to celebrate and encourage giving to nonprofits.
Dollars raised during this special event will go towards the UIU Fund, which supports our University in all day-to-day operations. From scholarship funding to technology upgrades to maintenance and repairs, giving to the UIU Fund provides dollars that directly impact students, faculty, and staff to be successful.
"Every gift, whether $25 or $50, makes a meaningful difference," stated Ashley Gredys, Vice President for Advancement & Alumni Engagement. "It's truly inspiring to see how the collective generosity of so many people who care deeply about our community creates impactful experiences. We ask that you give at an amount that is personally meaningful to you, knowing your support directly benefits our students and strengthens the UIU community."
