IU Day

IU trident with cascading hearts.

This IU Day, the IU family reached new heights of generosity by raising more than

$1.5 million

More important than the amount is the impact—and we made a big one. Together, we empowered IU causes ranging from campus food pantries to cancer research to student scholarships and more. But that’s not all.

We helped 23 crowdfunding campaigns rise to the challenge of reaching their goal.

We even helped these campuses, colleges, schools, and units top the IU Day leaderboards for most gifts received, winning them bonus dollars.
