FAQ

Lawrence Giving Day is a one-day-only fundraising event encouraging you to support your favorite area of the college. The 8th Annual event is on Wednesday, October 13, 2021. When you give a gift that is meaningful to you, our Game Changers will match it with a gift to the Lawrence Fund.

 

Gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar doubling the impact of your gift for current students. But if you're in the Classes of 2005-2025 and give up to $500, your gift will be matched with $500. Your $10, $25, $50 or $100 gift quickly becomes $510, $525,  $550 or $600 to help our students. If you give more than $500, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar. 

 

100% of your gift will go to the area(s) of the college you choose. Popular choices are the Lawrence Fund (area of greatest need), the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, Björklunden, athletics or student scholarships. The Game Changers' gifts will go to the Lawrence Fund, allowing the greatest flexibility in meeting the college's current needs.

 

There are many giving opportunities at Lawrence University. We encourage gifts to the Lawrence Fund because they make a vital difference in the lives of students and support the area of greatest need for the college. Please contact us if you have any questions at 920-832-6517 or annual.giving@lawrence.edu.

 

These scholarships are a way to band together across the generations and support current students. Read more about the scholarships and the tradition on the Class Colors page.

 

When you make a gift, post about it on your favorite social media platforms to encourage your friends to give and check out the program. Use #LUGives to join in the conversation about Lawrence Giving Day and spread the word!
