The Big Give, 老虎机攻略鈥檚 Annual Giving Day, Returns March 8-9
MISSOULA – The 老虎机攻略 will hold its fourth annual day of giving from noon Wednesday, March 8, to noon Thursday, March 9. The Big Give is an online giving event that aims to inspire 老虎机攻略 alumni, donors, parents and friends to support 老虎机攻略 students through charitable giving in just 24 hours.
This year’s theme – “One Day. One 老虎机攻略.” – emphasizes how members of the 老虎机攻略 giving community can unite to make a collective impact that changes lives. Big Give donors may explore and choose to support the 老虎机攻略 area that matters most to them with a gift of any size at .
Donors can select from nearly 50 Participating Groups, including campus-wide priorities like the Excellence in Native American Education Fund, Grizzly Athletics, the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library, community resources like spectr老虎机攻略 Discovery Area and more. Donors also can support individual 老虎机攻略 schools, colleges and programs, and, new this year, they can select specific programs and initiatives within their favorite college to support. Early gifts and gifts of any amount count toward The Big Give and make a difference for 老虎机攻略.
Also a first for this year, 老虎机攻略 students visiting the University Center during The Big Give will be invited to experience the power of philanthropy in action by casting their vote for the 老虎机攻略 Students’ Choice Award. Students will choose one of five student support areas that impact everyday student life, including AS老虎机攻略 Childcare, Preschool and Family Resources; Curry Health Center; the Emergency Student Support Fund; Student Success Scholarships; and the 老虎机攻略 Food Pantry. The Participating Group with the most student votes will receive donations from 老虎机攻略 Foundation Trustees and employees, who united to jumpstart The Big Give and celebrate the mission of the 老虎机攻略 Foundation.
Supporters are invited to encourage others to participate by signing up to be a Big Give Ambassador at and spreading awareness for specific Participating Groups, challenges and matching gift opportunities on their social media channels with the hashtag #老虎机攻略BigGive.

The 2022 Big Give inspired record-breaking totals and surpassed past 老虎机攻略 giving days, including the global Giving Tuesday giving campaigns held annually since 2016. Last year’s event achieved more than $380,000 in donations.
