Level Up Your Giving Day

In 2015, Trinity University held its first Giving Day to increase the number of individual donors early in its fiscal year. In its first year, Trinity’s goal was 480 donors during a 24-hour period. That year and each year since, Trinity has surpassed its Giving Day goals receiving gifts from more than 3,400 donors during its Giving Day in 2022. Now in its 8th year, Trinity has learned how to level up its Giving Day each year to keep donors and the entire Trinity community engaged and excited about this annual giving opportunity. Cynthia Uviedo and Kathy McNeill have worked on Trinity’s Giving Day since it began. They will share their tips for starting your own giving day and for keeping your event fun, fresh, and relevant.
