On Tuesday, February 17, the campus community will come together to celebrate Wilkes Giving Day 2026. This year’s theme, The Ripple Effect, highlights how one small act of generosity can create a wave of opportunity for every student on campus
Giving Day, a 24-hour fundraiser in support of key prioritized areas across campus, is about more than just fundraising, it’s about participation, engagement, and the collective impact we can make together. This year’s Ripple Effect theme is more relevant than ever. There will be exciting matching gift challenges designed to amplify your generosity. When we reach our community participation milestones, we unlock additional funding that supports every corner of campus. Whether you give $5 or $50, your participation is what triggers these major contributions.
Students, faculty and staff are invited to participate in this collective effort and give to areas that will continue to help us build a better, stronger and more affordable institution for our students.
