#UPGives Campaign: Every Gift Matters on Tuesday, Nov. 27

November 23, 2018

Giving Tuesday, a global day of philanthropy, is coming on November 27, and the University of Portland will take part through the #UPGives Campaign, according to Marie Jobes, development. The UP Giving Tuesday website allows people to donate to any fund of their choice, including colleges, schools, clubs, centers, teams, scholarships, and more.

This year three UP families have stepped up to inspire more support for student programs, scholarships, and service learning. They’re challenging the Pilot community to make at least 400 gifts between now and November 27 to unlock $40,000. No matter the size, every donation counts towards reaching the 400 gift goal.

Make a gift today or find out more here.

To be a Giving Tuesday ambassador and promote a UP fund that you love, be sure to look at UP’s Giving Tuesday Social Media Toolkit. It includes content, images, and dates to post, tweet, gram, and share updates about Giving Tuesday to your social network.

Thank you for joining in the effort to give back and help our Pilots go forward! Please contact jobes@up.edu with any questions.
