Bengal Giving Day is a 32-hour online fundraising blitz where we will come together to support ISU students, faculty, and campus programs while sharing our shared Bengal Pride! It’s designed to be fun and competitive as project teams reach out to build support for their favorite programs and compete for prizes, matching, and challenge dollars.

Over the past two years, Bengal Giving Day has raised approximately $1.5 million dollars for students and the ISU community! Your support is making a difference. Let's keep up the momentum and build our pipeline of generous donors to make this Bengal Giving Day one for the books!

For questions or more information about Bengal Giving Day, please contact Daniel Moore, Interim Director of Annual Giving at 208-282-1113 or email bengalgivingday@isu.edu

Generous donors contribute to a pool of funds that will be used as prize money during this 24-hour period. Check out the “Challenges” tab at the top of the site to learn more details about specific challenge windows.

Passionate donors select projects they are excited about and provide a contribution that will match individual donors' gifts during Bengal Giving Day, up to the specified amount.
