Your resource for promoting Great Dane Giving Day!

Great Dane Giving Day

The newly branded Great Dane Giving Day is our fall giving event, featuring a large matching gift to student scholarships to amplify support for any designation across the university. We wanted to celebrate what it means to be Great Danes and introduce our all new giving platform, which makes it even easier for our donors to make an impact on UAlbany students.

As always, your help on social media makes a huge difference. This is a great opportunity to rally your audiences and encourage gifts to your area while the match is active. We’ll be active on Facebook, Instagram and X and encourage you to join in! 

Please reach out to Stuart Seidel at [email protected] with any questions or requests. Thank you for your support of UAlbany students!
