Ithaca College

IC’s first-ever Giving Day is happening tomorrow Thursday, February 26, and we’re spicing things up with a little friendly competition. We’re pitting school against school to secure bragging rights and to support all IC students!

Overall, our goal is to secure 607 total gifts -- a nod to our favorite area code -- in 24 hours. If we reach that goal, a group of special alumni will give an additional $226,000 to help IC students. A matching gift of $26,000 will also be awarded to the school at IC with the highest level of participation based on its total number of alumni, parent, and student donors.

LATE-BREAKING NEWS: Between noon and 1:00 p.m. a $10,000 matching gift is being offered to the school with the highest number of faculty and staff donors. That’s right, $10,000! Just make your gift between noon and 1:00 p.m. and designate your gift to your favorite school.

Additional one and two hour prize challenges will run throughout the day, and provide opportunities for schools to win extra bonus prizes for their annual funds. Check out the prize board at ICGivingDay.com for more information.

Of course, the most important part about Giving Day is ... YOU! By participating in this special event, you’ll help IC students make the most out of their time on campus. Check out this video to find out how powerful your philanthropy is!
