Giving Tuesday 2018

Giving Tuesday Instagram Winners Give Back

December 7, 2018

As part of this year’s Giving Tuesday event, UP students had the chance to enter an Instagram contest where they could be one of three people to win $250 to donate to any area of UP they want. The three winners were randomly selected and shared with development which campus funds they are giving back to:

  • Senior Chloe Tanega will be donating her $250 to UP’s Filipino American Student Association (FASA). Chloe is also the president of FASA and plans to use the funds for their 5th annual culture show this spring. “We want to make this year the biggest one yet,” said Tanega. Chloe also remarked, “Giving Tuesday comes at a good time after everyone is done shopping. “
  • This year was freshman Angelica Garcia’s first year participating in Giving Tuesday and she believes it’s important because “in this society, we are taught to take and take and it makes a big impact on people when we give back.” Garcia is donating her winnings to UP’s Mock Trial team because it has made a huge difference in her time at UP.
  • Senior Ruby Beauchamp believes Giving Tuesday is important because “it is a way to support the community, especially here at UP. Giving Tuesday is great because $250 doesn’t sound like that much, but because I am a part of multiple clubs I know that their budgets are very small so the extra $250 makes a huge difference.” Ruby’s winnings will be going to UP’s College Ecology Club as she is the current president and is most passionate about environmental issues and raising awareness about sustainability.

Giving Tuesday Gratitude!

November 30, 2018

This year’s Giving Tuesday event was a huge success, according to Amy Eaton, development. It was a record-breaking year for Giving Tuesday, as the UP community:

  • Beat the goal of attaining 400 gifts in a 24-hour period
  • Raised $180,753 from 554 gifts and pledges, from 538 donors for the day
  • Increased the total number of gifts raised that day, from 2017, by 38% and increased the amount raised by 89%
  • Secured an additional 210 GOLD (graduates of the last decade) donors through a TOP (Telephone Outreach Program) Pre-Giving Tuesday Drive and raised $14,021.

With the pre-event Pre-Giving Tuesday Drive and day of efforts, the team was able to establish an overall new record of 741 gifts and $189,118 raised for Giving Tuesday campaign. This event is important to our end of year fundraising efforts and is also a warm-up to our #PilotsGive campaign.

#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.
