Your Gift, Doubled: Giving Tuesday Campaign Kicks Off Nov. 15
$100K challenge matches Dickinson Fund gifts dollar for dollar
From Nov. 15 through Dec. 1, your support can go twice as far. Our Board of Trustees will match every gift to the Dickinson Fund during our Giving Tuesday campaign, up to $100,000. That’s twice the impact of your gift, and twice the good it can do!
Giving Tuesday is a global fundraising effort, held each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. At Dickinson, we’re getting a head start: Our Giving Tuesday celebration kicks off on National Philanthropy Day (Sunday, Nov. 15) and continues through the end of Giving Tuesday (Dec. 1).
This 17-day drive benefits all areas of the Dickinson College experience. You may give to the Dickinson Fund, which supports the area of greatest need at the college, or select a specific priority that’s most meaningful to you.
Raising the bar
Building on the success of our 2025 Giving Tuesday, this year’s fundraising goal is $300,000—a $50,000 increase from last year’s goal. Our generous board members are also raising the bar this year. Their $100,000 matching-gift challenge for gifts to the Dickinson Fund is $10,000 higher than last year.
Keep an eye out for additional challenges throughout the campaign!
The beanies are back
We’re also expanding our incentives offer this year. If you make a new recurring gift to the college—or increase the amount of an existing recurring gift—you’ll receive an exclusive Dickinson beanie as our way of thanks. This warm, unisex hat, offered for the first time last year, is back by popular demand, and it’s available only to qualifying Dickinson donors.
Make your gift now!
