A giving day is a 24-hour fundraising event that is designed to rally a community behind a common cause. In the case of independent schools, the cause is usually supporting the school's mission and programs.

 

A giving day typically works like this:

  • The school sets a goal for how much money they want to raise.
  • They create an online giving page on a fundraising platform.
  • They promote the giving day to their community through email, social media, and other channels.
  • On the day of the giving day, donors can make gifts to the school online.
  • The school celebrates the success of the giving day and thanks their donors.
