At the University of Mary Washington, we believe in the transformative power of education. We envision a world where knowledge knows no bounds, ideas flourish, where every individual has the opportunity to realize their full potential, and possibilities are endless.

With your gift this Giving Tuesday, December 1, you are helping nurture curious minds, foster critical thinking, and prepare students to navigate an interconnected world with empathy and insight.

We are excited to offer these special ways to celebrate your generosity this Giving Tuesday—you will be prompted for each on the giving form:

• Name a Squirrel: Give $19.08 or more to the Fund for Mary Washington to name a campus squirrel and receive a digital certificate. Donors who name a squirrel, will also receive a sticker as a thank you!
• Send Hugs & Kisses (Parents and families of current students): Include a note of encouragement to your student with your gift, and they will receive your note with Hershey’s Hugs & Kisses for a sweet pick-me-up during finals week. 
• Adopt an Eagle (Alumni, faculty, and staff): Send a note of encourage with your gift which we will hand out to any student along with some Smarties candy for a sweet pick-me-up during finals week. 

Thank you for helping #MakeItPossibleUMW this #GivingTuesday.
