Giving Days 2026

#GIVE2COO is sweeping the nation! For every state from which we receive a gift, $1,000 will be unlocked until we reach all 50 states. Check out the heatmap to see what states we are missing. Unlocked money will be added periodically with special thanks to an Anonymous alumna!

In honor of USF faculty, staff, and administration, Paula Newport O’Neill-Weedon ’64 and Ren Weedon will add $250 to every gift of $250 or more to the USF Fund, up to $2,500. Go all in for USF and strengthen scholarships, academics, and campus life.

When 50 new donors make their first gift, a $3,000 gift from an Anonymous donor will be unlocked for the USF Fund. Be the spark that builds momentum across campus.

When 35 faculty and staff rally together, a $2,000 scholarship gift from Lyle ’63 and Paula Terveen will be unlocked. Join your colleagues in investing directly in the students you teach, mentor, and walk alongside every day.

When 25 alumni from the 1970s give, $1,000 from Mark ’77 and Berinda Wolitarsky — given in honor and memory of Kenneth “SID” Kortemeyer '74 — will be unlocked for academic scholarships. Join fellow lifelong Cougars in continuing a proud legacy of generosity that invests in today’s students.

When 25 donors give, a $1,000 gift from President Brett and Jane Bradfield will be unlocked for the USF Fund. Join the President in strengthening students, academics, and campus life — through the flexible support that keeps USF moving forward.

An Anonymous ’04 alum will match USF Fund gifts up to $3,000 — providing flexible support where it matters most — often meeting needs no other fund can address.

When 100 alumni step up, the impact multiplies. Once the goal is reached, a $1,350 scholarship gift from the Alumni Association Board will be unlocked to support future students.

When 25 alumni from the 1960s give, $2,000 will be unlocked for scholarships thanks to Mick Woodden ’63 — honoring a generation that helped shape USF — and now shaping opportunity for the next.
