About RRU Giving Day 

RRU Giving Day will take place on November 25, 2026—a powerful 24-hour window designed to ignite generosity, amplify community spirit, and make a lasting impact. 

This university-wide, multi-channel fundraising appeal is more than just a campaign—it’s a celebration of philanthropy and a rallying call to alumni, students, faculty, staff, and our wider community. Together, we aim to raise over $150,000 in support of student-focused funds and strategic university initiatives. 

Why Giving Day at RRU? 

Now in its second year, RRU Giving Day continues a bold new tradition. In 2025, for our first-ever Giving Day, our community came together and raised $148,000. This year, we’re building on that momentum. RRU Giving Day is designed to:

• Spark excitement and pride across our community 
• Unify our efforts under one impactful, time-bound initiative 
• Amplify the culture of philanthropy that already thrives at RRU 

Supporting the Leading with Courage Campaign 

RRU Giving Day also supports our Leading with Courage campaign. Every gift made during Giving Day, no matter the size or designation, contributes to this comprehensive fundraising campaign and helps us move closer to our vision for the future. 

Whether you’re giving for the first time or deepening your commitment, RRU Giving Day is your moment to lead with courage, give with heart, and be part of something transformative.
