Every year, UW Giving Day brings together thousands of alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends of the University of Wyoming in a powerful 24-hour celebration of generosity. In 2024, over 11,200 donors stepped forward, raising more than $4.17 million — including more than $1.4 million in matching and challenge funds — to fuel education, innovation, and opportunity across Wyoming.

From kickoff at noon on October 23 through the finish on October 24, your gift can unlock big boosts—like the $250,000 Trustee Student Success Match, the Foundation Board kickoff and midnight matches, and prize challenges for students, athletics, and more. Check the schedule to see when your favorite area is matched and help your team climb the leaderboard.
