2026 Eagle Giving Day

One Goal. One Day. One Mission.

Every year, Eagle Giving Day brings our entire Northwestern community together for one day dedicated to impacting students and advancing the mission of Northwestern.

Last year, 877 people said yes to that mission, giving generously to the Northwestern Scholarship Fund and areas all around campus. This year, we're asking even more of our community to join in — our goal is 1,000 donors making a gift on October 22, 2026. Every gift matters, no matter the size — it's your participation that counts most.

Here's what makes Eagle Giving Day different: you get to give where your heart is. Whether it's the team you played on, the department that shaped your career, the arts program that gave you a stage, or the community that walked with you through college — your gift goes directly to the place at Northwestern that means the most to you. For parents, it might be specific area of campus shaping your son or daughter's college experience right now. For our faculty and staff, it might be the department or program you pour into every day.

This is more than a single day of giving. It's a chance for our whole community to say, together, that Northwestern's students and mission matter enough to show up for. Will you be one of our 1,000?

Gifts by personal check, cashier’s check or money order should be made payable to University of Northwestern and mailed to:
