One Day. One Community. In a year like no other.

The third annual Bryant Giving Day is October 28, and everyone in the Bryant community is invited to participate in the University’s signature online fundraising event. For 24 hours, bulldogs everywhere—alumni, students, families, faculty, staff, and friends—will come together as one through the power of philanthropy. 

On Bryant Giving Day, donors can support one of the many programs and initiatives that make Bryant extraordinary. “You can direct your gift to scholarships, academic programs, athletics, our world-class faculty, diversity and inclusion initiatives, and student life programs," said Nora Marzocchi, Bryant Fund Director. “I hope every donor chooses an area that is especially meaningful and helped to define their Bryant experience.”

“Now, in a year like no other, we are counting on the energy and enthusiasm of everyone the Bryant community to make October 28 a great day to be a Bulldog.” 

This year, donors also have the opportunity to direct their gift the new #BeBryantStrong initiative, which has been a critical part of our fall reopening plan, helping to ensure that the Bryant campus community remains safe and healthy. With a variety of giving challenges announced throughout the day, small contributions on Bryant Giving Day can add up to a powerful impact, and donors can use social media to challenge their classmates and colleagues to match their gifts. 

Each gift from alumni also helps to boost Bryant’s alumni participation rate, which has a positive impact on our place in national rankings from organizations such as U.S. News & World Report. 

“It has been inspiring to watch Bryant Giving Day grow stronger each year,” said David Wegrzyn ’86 P’23, Vice President for University Advancement. “Now, in a year like no other, we are counting on the energy and enthusiasm of everyone the Bryant community to make October 28 a great day to be a Bulldog.”
