Thank You, Dickinsonians!

The Dickinson community came out in full force, making the 2023 Day of Giving a historic success. At last count, Dickinsonians around the world made over 3,600 gifts to the college totaling more than $1.7 million, the largest Day of Giving fundraising total ever. Those gifts will support the Dickinson Fund; scholarships; diversity, equity and inclusivity initiatives; the Student Wellness Fund; study abroad; academic programming; athletics; the Asbell Center for Jewish Life; and more.

Thanks to this outpouring of support, we also unlocked hundreds of thousands of dollars in challenge gifts from our generous challenge donors. Thank you to all of our Day of Giving donors, our volunteers who helped get the word out, and the following challenge donors who inspired their fellow Dickinsonians to step up and show once again that great things happen when Dickinsonians come together:

Great Things Happen When Dickinsonians Come Together

The funds raised on this historic day for the college will make an immediate impact on the lives of every student. But since all those gifts also help those students prepare to be tomorrow's leaders, the impact of every gift will last well beyond this day and reverberate far beyond Dickinson's limestone walls.

If you missed your chance to join in on the Day of Giving, you can still make a gift supporting every aspect of the Dickinson experience
