Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of STAGiving Day on March 20!

Make a plan to give back on STAGiving Day: the day our University community comes together — students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends — to support the Fairfield they love.

Unleash your Stag spirit on Wednesday, March 20 for STAGiving Day! In its 10th year, this annual tradition unlocks brighter futures for the Stag community by supporting scholarships, research and innovation, diversity, spirituality, and so much more. 

Last year, we saw an incredible outpouring of support on STAGiving Day, surpassing our goals in true Stag style. More than 3,200 gifts came in and unlocked over $1.1 million in challenge funds – with the average gift around $100, we came together and topped more than $3.6 million dollars to support the needs of our Fairfield community.

For this year's 10th anniversary, we know we can build on that momentum and make an even greater impact – in true Stag fashion!

"There are so many ways to contribute to what you care about across campus on STAGiving Day,” said vice president for University Advancement Wally Halas. “With more of the 80+ University funds represented, it’s an incredible opportunity to support both little and big goals that turn into real impact. Your gifts can move whatever moves you – from scholarship, the arts, athletics, and spirituality, to our diversity, equity, and belonging efforts. There are so many opportunities available, and we are excited to share all the ways giving supports every facet of the Fairfield experience.”

Discover ways to give that are most meaningful for you! Foster academic excellence by promoting diversity and inclusion through the Office of Student Diversity’s Academic Immersion Program. Unlock educational opportunities through the Center for Social Impact’s Dream Fund. Give back to your favorite Fairfield Athletics program to provide our student-athletes with a champion level experience. Your gift can make a tangible difference in the areas you care most about!

Join the fun, unlock the potential! Donors have unique opportunities to participate in Reunion Class Challenges, social media challenges, and flash challenges while unlocking more funds and doubling their impact. This year, for the first time, donors can even create their very own challenges and matching gift opportunities to show their Stag spirit and amplify their impact. By becoming an advocate right now, they can share and create additional opportunities to earn funding for their favorite places on campus while earning a little bit of swag in return.

The 10th Anniversary of STAGiving Day only happens once! On March 20, get excited, make a plan, and come together as One Fairfield on this One Day to make 2024 STAGiving Day the best yet.
