USF Giving Days 2019

GIVE2COO is USF’s third annual Giving Day beginning at 7 p.m. CST on March 26 and continuing through 7 p.m. CST on March 28, 2019. During this 48-hour event, generous donors will be providing challenge funds to increase the power of your gift and bring together the entire USF family—current students, alumni, faculty, staff, parents, friends, and the local community— in support of scholarships for current and future Cougars.

Every year USF awards over $5.5 million in Academic Scholarships to USF students. It is because of these scholarships that students have the opportunity to receive an outstanding education in a welcoming community, while learning how to use their gifts and talents to serve God and humankind.

Unlike giving on other days, when you make a gift during GIVE2COO, you'll be joining hundreds of others in the USF community giving with POWER. Generous donors will be providing matching and challenge funds to increase the impact of your gift.

Anyone! Gifts from all members of the community (no matter the size) will be counted toward matching challenges - students, parents, alumni, friends, faculty, staff, grandparents, neighbors, roommates, uncles, and even strangers who love USF.

GIVE2COO relies on Ambassadors to share messages and create excitement before and during the Giving Days using their preferred form of communication: social media, email, text, and phone calls. Your support will help us reach a broad audience! If you'd like to become an Ambassador, just sign up through the Ambassador section of our main page.

Throughout GIVE2COO, a variety of challenges will create opportunities to leverage your support to unlock gifts and additional matching funds. These may include goals for a certain number of people to donate within a certain period of time, or to donate a certain amount, which will unlock additional funding.

Visit GIVE2COO.usiouxfalls.edu between 7 p.m. on March 26 and 7 p.m. on March 28 to make a gift!

You can make a recurring gift by visiting the USF website. Please note that only payments processed March 26-28, 2019, will count toward GIVE2COO, so while the first installment will be eligible for challenge match funds, your future gifts will not be.
