IUP’s annual Day of Giving is April 23, 2026.
Join our team for a 24-hour online event that brings together alumni, parents, friends, and the entire IUP family to support students and celebrate philanthropy.
“IUP’s Day of Giving is a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together,” IUP Director of Annual Giving and Fiscal Oversight Tonya Patterson said. “Every gift—no matter the size—directly supports our students and strengthens the programs that shape their academic and personal success.”
There are several key areas you can help support IUP students on this year’s Day of Giving.
“Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness towards IUP and its students. Your support makes higher education more accessible and helps students contribute back to society.”

IUP Athletics
You can contribute to the general athletics fund or designate a gift to one of IUP’s 19 varsity athletic programs.
Dean’s Innovation Funds
Across IUP’s six distinct academic colleges, the Dean’s Innovation Fund helps support innovative scholarship and professional development projects for students and faculty in the college.
You can also direct your support to the area of campus that matters most to you. By giving to a program, initiative, or fund you feel passionate about, you help strengthen the university’s mission and make a meaningful impact on the student experience.
