Questions and Answers

Below you will find answers to many common questions about FY19 Baylor Giving Day.

What is Baylor Giving Day?

In its inaugural year, Baylor Giving Day is an university-wide, 24-hour fundraising event designed to inspire students, alumni and friends to make a gift to their favorite programs at Baylor that are meaningful to them!

When does it start?

Baylor Giving Day will begin at noon on August 28, 2018 and run until noon on August 29, 2018 CDT.

Why should I participate in Baylor Giving Day?

Philanthropy is a critical part of Baylor University’s support. It funds many scholarships for students who otherwise would not be able to attend college and supports the university’s top-notch faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and hands-on learning opportunities for students. Giving back is one of the greatest things we can do for our university and for future Bears. Whether you can give $5 or $500, you are part of the Baylor Family, and you can help make a difference.

Additionally, your gift may be matched to increase the impact of your gift. Be sure to check out the Challenges and Matches section on the right side of the homepage.

What if I don't see my school or organization on the list?

If you do not see the school, organization or program that you would like to give to, please select either "Baylor Fund" or "Other."

 

The Baylor Fund supports many areas of campus, and President Livingstone reviews needs throughout the year to determine where Baylor Fund gifts can have the greatest impact.  If you select "Other," please type in where you would like your donation to go and our gift processing team will find the area you wish to support.
