Thank you for charging Giving CMU Day to maximum power! ⚡

These 24 Tartan-powered hours reflected the generosity and energy of the amazing Carnegie Mellon community, reaching 7,000 donors and raising more than $2.3 million in support.

If you missed Giving CMU Day this year, you can still power up your favorite programs and projects at Carnegie Mellon with a gift!


Updates

Can energy travel at 100 DPH (that’s “donors per hour”)? It can during Giving CMU Day’s Power Hour Pop-Up Challenge! An anonymous supporter has issued a challenge to energize Giving CMU Day. Through 8 p.m., if 100 donors (per hour) make a gift of $10 or more to any CMU fund, a $5,000 gift will be unlocked to the Student Experience Fund.
