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.
