Giving Tuesday 2024

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, you are helping nurture curious minds, foster critical thinking, and preparing 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:

• Send a Thank-You Note: Give in honor or memory of someone special, and we’ll send a thank-you note to them (or their next of kin) on your behalf. 
• Name a Squirrel: Give $19.08 or more to the Fund for Mary Washington to name a campus squirrel and receive a digital certificate. 
• Receive an Exclusive Recipe: Give any amount to get a Mary Wash-inspired cookie recipe from an alum who competed on The Great American Baking Show. 
• Send Hugs & Kisses (family members of current UMW students only): 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. 

Thank you for helping #MakeItPossibleUMW.
