Thank You for Supporting Giving Day!

Together, we did it!

Thanks to the incredible support of our alumni, faculty, staff, parents, students and friends, Canisius Giving Day 2024 was a huge success!

A total of 1,814 gifts were made contributing $717,529 in support of the dozens of initiatives submitted by our campus partners!

It is truly incredible to see members of the Canisius community from far and wide coming together and investing in the areas and initiatives that make a Canisius education special. Most of all, Giving Day showcases the power of thousands of Griffins coming together as ONE Canisius!

Giving Day is Today!

Today is Canisius Giving Day – a day of celebration and support where members of the Canisius community will once again come together for an extraordinary day of giving back. This special campaign is all about participation and showcasing the power of the Canisius community.

We also have a special challenge just for Canisius faculty and staff from President Steve and Alison Stoute. When 75 current faculty or staff make a Giving Day gift to the designation of their choice, $2,500 will unlock to support Canisius University!

Check out this year’s initiatives and help us reach our goal by making your gift online here!

Together we can make incredible things happen for our students. Thank you for your support!
