UC Day of Giving

Today, tomorrow, together, forever...

Because of your generosity, we raised more than $3,800,000 from 3,500+ gifts in another record-breaking UC Day of Giving! You proved once again that Bearcats run straight at any challenge, overcome any obstacle and absolutely demolish the status quo. 

Thanks to everyone who came together to make a collective impact on the entire UC community. 


A special thank you to our 150+ Ambassadors who had more than $48,000 raised from 930+ gifts. 

From all of us at the University of Cincinnati Foundation, thank you for your support!
