2026 Day of Giving

Thank you to all the Dickinsonians who came together to celebrate our shared pride, our community and the power of collective generosity.

Together, we surpassed our goal of 3,000 donors and raised over $1.6 million in a single day to enhance opportunities across campus.

The day included more than 25 successful donor-established challenges that enabled community members to double or even triple the impact of their gifts. Together, those challenges provided an additional $400,000 in funding for everything from faculty research to the McAndrews Fund for Athletics.

“Dickinson is a special place because of the people,” said Dickinson President John E. Jones ’77, P’11, who sponsored the day’s Faculty Research Challenge with his wife, Beth. “Day of Giving represents an opportunity for Dickinson’s huge community to give our students a world-class education, and year after year they step up.”
