UC Day of Giving
This Is Our Moment!
Your generosity powers UC’s future — and you showed exactly what Bearcats can accomplish together.
Thanks to you, UC Day of Giving inspired more than 2,700 gifts and raised $2.86 million in support of students, research, and programs across the university.
A special thank you to our 50+ Ambassadors who had more than $49,000 raised from 878+ gifts. It’s a remarkable time to be a Bearcat and we couldn’t have done it without you!
From all of us at the University of Cincinnati Foundation, thank you for your support!

The Chair will honor Fred's memory and the lasting legacy of service he leaves behind. The couple provided this commitment prior to Fred’s passing in early April 2026.
