Join us on Wednesday, April 23, for DePauw University's Day of Giving, a powerful 24-hour event uniting alumni, students, and friends to support our university’s future. Every gift makes a difference!
As a special thank you for supporting DePauw, all donors will receive a DePauw-themed leather keychain bottle opener. Donors who give $250 or more will receive a DePauw-themed cocktail/mocktail shaker.
Be Part of the Celebration!
Tune into our telecast, where we'll share exciting updates, donor milestones, and special guest appearances throughout the day. Gather with fellow Tigers at virtual parties to celebrate your impact, reconnect with classmates, and rally support for DePauw. See which regions have already committed to participating!
Win a Celebration for Your Region!
The region that raises the most (minimum $25,000) and secures at least 50 donors will win a special celebration—either a tailgate during Old Gold Weekend or a catered regional event sponsored by the Development and Alumni Engagement Office.
How You Can Help Your Region Win:
📢 Encourage alumni in your city to give and spread the word.
📢 Share updates in regional alumni groups and your personal networks.
📢 Join the telecast and virtual parties to keep the energy going!
Let’s come together to make this Day of Giving one for the books—every donor counts!

Let’s do this, Tigers! 💪
409 days ago by Randa HammettDrew Powell ’98 and Carrie Nagy ’99 met up at Griffith Observatory in LA to reflect on their DePauw roots, creative careers, and what it means to give back. From the stage to the boardroom, both are using their talents to lead, inspire, and stay connected to DePauw.
Watch their full conversation now on YouTube, and help support the next generation of leaders and creators by making a gift today.
We’ve hit $500,000 — and we’re not slowing down!
There’s still time to make a gift and help us reach 1,000 donors before the day ends. Every dollar fuels DePauw’s future, and every donor brings us closer to our goal.
Let’s keep the energy high and Toast to DePauw together!
