Giving DeisDay
December 1
Giving Deisday is on Dec. 1 and it’s an opportunity for current students and individuals from the greater Brandeis community to give a donation to their choice club/organization at Brandeis. Additionally, Giving Deisday is an easy way to fundraise and show support for other clubs on campus.
The goal this year is for the total funding to be $1948 and the goal for student participants is 100. The best aspect of achieving these goals is that Alumni donors will ‘match’ the donations given by a gift of $100,000 which will be given back to students for necessities such as scholarships, funding for clubs, emergency funding, etc.
Save the date so you can make your gift when the site goes live!
