U Giving Days 2026 begins soon! At 12 a.m. on Tuesday, March 24, the U Giving Days campaign will officially launch, and it will continue through 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25. For these 48 hours, the entire University of Utah and University of Utah Health community will come together to raise funds for critical resources, innovative research, exceptional care and unmatched access to education.
The U needs you! An event this big can’t be successful without all of the faculty, staff, students, parents, families, fans and supporters that make the University of Utah a truly remarkable place. Here are some ways you can support U Giving Days:
Make a gift
- Visit the U Giving Days website to find an area (or multiple areas) where you can make an endless impact. Double the impact – your gift can be matched dollar for dollar or help unlock a challenge grant with your gift!
- This year, receive a limited-edition U puzzle when you give a total of $185 or more. The puzzle is a small thank you for supporting Giving Days with a gift amount that mirrors the U’s founding year of 1850. Because every piece matters.
Attend the Pepsi U Make a Difference event
- If you’re near campus tomorrow (Tuesday, March 24), come join the Pepsi U Make a Difference event outside the A. Ray Olpin Student Union from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Thanks to Pepsi’s sponsorship of this event, we will have free food, dirty sodas and fun giveaways. Pepsi has provided $25,000 for a cash grab where students can collect Pepsi’s money and donate it to any Giving Days area you choose.
Become a champion
- Sign up to become a U Giving Days Champion (and maybe win a cool prize). You’ll be helping spread the word about areas you care about on Giving Days, while also competing against peers to make the biggest impact.
