This annual celebration energizes Wildcats everywhere to support all the things that make K-State great.
Each college, campus and program will share its top-priority needs, but you can give to the K-State fund of your choice.
The 24-hour event features hourly challenges and frequent matching opportunities, plus a special event at the K-State Student Union with food, fun and lots of prizes!
Pooling our power
The 2025 Day of Giving was a huge success, thanks to more than 1,600 generous donors! No matter the cause chosen — 275 funds spanning academic excellence, groundbreaking research, student success and more — K-State faithful showed up to support the Wildcats of tomorrow.
A special thanks goes to our Board of Trustees, who gave $200,000 in bonus funds for our challenge winners to pay forward to the funds of their choice. See last year’s challenge winners and other details from the event on the Day of Giving fundraising page.
