Why should I participate in PSU Day of Giving? 

PSU Day of Giving is an annual, daylong fundraising event that typically takes place twice a year in the spring and fall. For a special time, the Viking community comes together to help PSU achieve more: greater opportunities, broader educational access, bolder visions and more innovative research. The collaborative aspect of PSU Day of Giving shows how much we can achieve together.

Are PSU Day of Giving contributions tax-deductible?

Yes. Gifts made online for Day of Giving may be eligible for tax deductions and will help support the extraordinary students, faculty and staff working to make a difference at Portland State. Donors will receive an email confirmation of their gift.

I can't make a big gift. Can my support really make a difference?

 Yes, your gift really does make a difference. With so many unexpected and urgent needs all across campus, every gift, no matter the size, helps our university do more for our students and our city. 

Combining your philanthropy with that of others quickly creates a foundation of support for students, programs, scholarships and more.

How do I set up a recurring PSU Sustainer Society gift?

The PSU Sustainer Society recognizes donors with recurring monthly gifts of any size. Monthly giving is a great way to increase your support by spreading your gift out over a twelve-month period, and it provides stable and reliable funds for PSU. Good for you, good for PSU!

Email tudburyc@psuf.org if you're interested in establishing a recurring monthly gift as a part of the #PSUDayofGiving campaign. 

What else can I do to participate in Day of Giving?

Spreading the word before — and during — this special fundraising event is a great way to help. You can share photos from our "Get Involved" section, tell others how and why you give using the hashtag #PSUDayOfGiving and encourage your friends, alumni, classmates and community to do the same.
