At SUNY Old Westbury, we’re all about empowering our students, transforming lives, and making education accessible to all. Your support on Giving Tuesday can make a real impact on the lives of our students, helping them to reach their full potential and achieve their dreams.
What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a Global Day of Generosity that takes place annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It’s a day where people around the world come together to give back to the organizations that make a difference in their communities. At SUNY Old Westbury, we’re proud to participate in this global event and to rally our alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and students to join us in making a difference.
This year, we are raising critical dollars for:
- Finish Line Scholarships – Help students cross the graduation finish line.
- Growing Our Endowment – Invest in SUNY Old Westbury’s future.
- Greatest Needs Fund – Provide resources for students when they need it most.
