Gies Giving Day
Gies Giving Day 2026: Multiplying our impact
November 19, 2026 | Celebrating all week, November 16–20
Something extraordinary is happening at Gies College of Business, and we're inviting our entire community to be part of it. Larry Gies recently announced a transformational $100 million pledge to match the next $100 million in qualifying gifts to Gies Business. It's an incredible opportunity to come together to create an even brighter future for our learners.
Gies Giving Day 2026 is our opportunity to answer that call and multiply our impact.
From November 16-20, we're celebrating the collective power of giving, with a special focus on Thursday, November 19 – Gies Giving Day. Every gift to the Gies Business Scholarship Fund or Annual Fund helps create opportunities for talented learners and ensures that a world-class business education remains within reach.
For students facing financial barriers, your generosity can be life-changing. Scholarships help make a Gies Business education possible, while annual support gives the College flexibility to respond to emerging needs and invest in opportunities that help students thrive.
Last year, 162 donors came together to raise more than $102,000 during Gies Giving Day. This year, with the momentum of Larry's historic commitment behind us, imagine what we can accomplish together.
“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.”

One community. One extraordinary opportunity. Countless lives changed.
Join us for Gies Giving Day 2026 and help shape what's possible for the next generation of Gies Business learners.
