Gies Giving Day
“This gift was never about the money or about the naming of the College; it was about a commitment to building the greatest business school on Earth – where purposeful leaders pursue their passion to make the world a better place.” – Larry Gies, October 26, 2017

We’re celebrating Gies Giving Day 2025 on Wednesday, October 29 — and all month long.
Gies Business is proud to be part of a world-class university and among the very best business schools in the world. Gies is ranked as the #6 public business school — #12 among all undergraduate business programs — and is home to the nation’s #1 accounting program.
Yet for many talented, driven learners, financial barriers stand in the way of that life-changing opportunity. Others arrive on campus but still carry the heavy weight of financial strain.
On Gies Giving Day 2025, you can help change that.
At Gies Business, more than one in four students face significant financial need. This year alone, Gies Business awarded 889 scholarships to 700 learners who needed support to continue their journey.
When you give, you do more than reduce debt - you open doors to opportunity, education, and purpose. And when we give together, we make a transformative business education more accessible and help Gies Business students thrive.
Every gift makes a difference. Let's show our students that the Gies Business community believes in them, today and every day.
