Day of the Dons

Rooted in Generosity, Growing Together

This year, we celebrate the transformative power of generosity through our theme, Rooted in Generosity, Growing Together, a reflection of how every act of giving nurtures opportunity and strengthens our community.

Our goal is to inspire 2,026 donors to plant seeds of possibility in just 24 hours. Each gift of any size helps USF students thrive academically, personally, and socially, empowering them to bloom into the leaders of tomorrow.

Whether it’s your first gift or part of a long-standing tradition, your generosity cultivates a future rooted in hope, care, and lasting impact. Join alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends as we grow the USF community one gift at a time.

Let’s bloom together — because when we give, we flourish.
