¹ū¶³“«Ć½ announced that its ninth annual Giving Day will take place on Friday, May 9 — a 24-hour fundraising event that encourages alumni, parents, staff, faculty, coaches, administrators and friends to go ā€œAll in for AU.ā€

An investment on Giving Day 2025 fuels Augustana’s momentum as it advances the goals of the university’s strategic plan, Viking Bold: The Journey to 2030, and fulfills its mission to provide an education of enduring worth. A gift to The Augustana Fund provides essential resources to support mission-critical priorities at the university. Thanks to the philanthropic support of our alumni and friends, Augustana is able to provide 100% of its students with financial aid and/or scholarships.

ā€œYour gift on Giving Day will provide valuable resources for the people and programs that are the heart and soul of ¹ū¶³“«Ć½. When you go ā€˜All in for AU,’ you make an investment that brings permanent gains to the students who are forever changed by an Augustana education,ā€ said Chief Strategy Officer & Executive Vice President Dr. Pam Homan ā€˜81.

Giving Day 2025 invites the Augustana community to go ā€œAll inā€ in support of the university's enduring commitments, with several featured initiatives, including:

  • Academic Programs
  • Annual Impact Scholarships
  • Athletics Programs
  • The Augustana Fund (giving to the greatest need)
  • The Center for Western Studies (CWS)
  • The De & Dave Knudson Center for Global Engagement (formerly the International Programs Office)
  • The Library Associates
  • The Office of Faith & Spiritual Life
  • Women in Philanthropy Impact Scholarships

This year, with help from the Augustana community of family and friends, AU strives to reach its goal of $500,000.
