2025 Giving Day

MSOE Giving Day is 24 hours when we invite our MSOE community near and far to come together to show their Raider pride by participating in events, joining social media challenges, and giving to the areas of MSOE that have the greatest impact on campus.

Gifts of all sizes will add up to make a powerful difference for students, faculty and our entire community. All gifts made on Giving Day will count towards our campaign total. 

MSOE Giving Day will take place on April 17, 2025. Your gift will go further on April 17 and have a greater impact thanks to generous MSOE supporters who have funded several challenges. Your gift to the area you care about most can have double the impact. It will give a direct boost to the program you care about most AND it can help it win a share of the day's challenges. Throughout the day, live leaderboards will show progress for the challenges, making it possible to follow along in real time. 

To ensure fairness for all groups, gifts of $1,000 or less made during a Power Hour challenge will be matched up to $5,000.  Act fast—these matching gifts can go quickly!

Each unique email address linked to a transaction is counted as a unique donor. 

Each individual transaction completed towards any area is counted as an individual gift. A unique donor can make multiple gifts by donating to different areas of their choosing. Please refrain from creating fake names and emails, as we aim to maintain integrity throughout the campaign.

On April 17, you can make your gift in one of two ways: 

        1. Online at givingday.msoe.edu (click Give Now), between 12:01 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. CST.

        2. By phone at 414-277-7164, between 8:00am and 5:00pm CST. 

If you need assistance making your gift or have a question, email us at development@msoe.edu

Help us spread the word! Tell your friends, family, fellow alumni and networks that you’ve made a gift, and encourage them to give. Post on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Instagram using the hashtag #MSOEDAY. Send an email, text or make a call. However you like, the more people who hear about it, the bigger the impact you can have! 

Better yet, sign up to be a Giving Day Ambassador by clicking on the Ambassador tab at the top of this webpage. You'll have access to a personal dashboard with special social media tools that make it even easier to share the excitement with your network. You can also track the impact of your messages, including the number of new gifts you've motivated.

Thank you for your support! You are already making a difference. A participation gift will enable MSOE to do even more and help us reach our Giving Day goals. We hope you will be part of this exciting day.

The minimum gift amount is $5. Our goal for the day is based on participation, and gifts of all sizes are greatly appreciated. When our entire community comes together to support MSOE, extraordinary things happen.

MSOE listed some of our most popular funds to support. If you do not see your fund listed, please complete the following steps. If you make a gift to a fund that does not exist, a representative from MSOE will contact you with other fund options. 

      1.) Select the "Area of Support" that the fund you are interested in aligns with the best

      2.) Under "Fund Designation" select Other

      3.) Once you select Other, a new box will appear where you can type in the area you would like to designate your gift.
