Purdue Day of Giving Resources

Purdue Day of Giving is Wednesday, April 30. Join Boilermakers worldwide as we come together to help the entire Purdue community take its next giant leap in building a better world together.

Discover how you can be a hero for your favorite Purdue campus, college, school, program, or student organization at dayofgiving.purdue.edu. While you’re there, check out the leaderboards that reflect the victories Boilermakers like you make possible and consider contributing to a Purdue Alumni scholarship.

Each club has its own direct link to its Purdue Day of Giving page. The links are located here and in the social media section below.

Clubs are not required to communicate about Purdue Day of Giving, but we encourage you to do so! Feel free to share content via your social channels at any time. The Purdue for Life Foundation sent an email on April 16 promoting Purdue Day of Giving. Due to the volume of emails sent to promote the event, individual club emails will not be sent.

Bonus Fund Challenge

We will host a challenge with a total of $5,000 in bonus scholarship gifts awarded to up to six clubs to encourage your participation during this year’s Purdue Day of Giving. The challenge is available to clubs with scholarship funds held at Purdue.

  • Six awards will be provided, and a club may win bonus funds in both leaderboards.
    • Example: if the Purdue Alumni Club of Tippecanoe County places third in total gifts and second in total dollars, that club will win $1,300 as a bonus scholarship gift.
  • Donating is as simple as selecting your club fund from the list and entering your gift amount. After you’ve made your gift, follow along on the leaderboards to see how we’re rising together!
  • Payment by check: All checks need to arrive at the Dick and Sandy Dauch Alumni Center by Wednesday, April 23, 2025, to count toward the leaderboard numbers. Checks should be mailed to:

    Dauch Alumni Center
    Attn: Finance
    403 West Wood Street
    West Lafayette, IN 47907

    Checks should be made out to the Purdue Research Foundation. Please include the club scholarship you wish to donate to and state it is for Purdue Day of Giving. Checks may be dropped off in person in the drop box located in the Dauch Atrium. The building is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
