There are countless reasons Washington University is so special. And we’re once again coming together as One WashU to celebrate every one of them with a 24-hour fundraising blitz.

It’s easy to participate: simply make a gift of any amount to any area before midnight on April 9. Your contribution will help us reach our goal of 3,000 donors, unlock a $250,000 challenge gift – and make a world of difference for our students, faculty, and researchers.

So whether you want to honor a beloved professor, drive innovation, support your favorite Bears team, or pay it forward to today’s students, this is the day to make it happen!

You've wowed us with your response to Giving Day in the past, so we can't wait to see how big you go for our students and our future this year!

To encourage your participation today, Trustee Cash Nickerson, JD ’85, MBA ’93, and Evie Nickerson have issued a generous challenge: If 3,000 donors make a gift before midnight tonight, they’ll contribute $250,000 to WashU!

“The university really put me in a different world. My two degrees gave me the versatility to take advantage of many opportunities and see issues from more than one angle. The scholarships I received made it possible for me to go to WashU — there were generous people behind my education, and I feel fortunate that I can do the same thing for today’s students. WashU is a force for change, and it’s at the forefront of creating tomorrow’s leaders. Who wouldn’t want to invest in that?”
