Giving Days at Glasgow…
The University of Glasgow held its second Giving Day on 3rd and 4th October 2024. Giving Day is an opportunity for our entire global community to come together, celebrate what makes Glasgow so remarkable, and showcase what we can achieve when we unite for a cause!
Over the past two Giving Days, your unwavering support has helped fund the dreams of 12 students seeking a Glasgow education and provided critical hardship funds for those facing unexpected challenges. Your contributions have funded over 20 sports bursaries, enabling student-athletes to excel in their studies while achieving great things in their sports. You’ve also enhanced the student experience by supporting 42 staff and student projects—ranging from Chapel Choir tours and Sign Language Cafés to sustaining the Glasgow Guardian, creating sanctuaries on campus, and advancing outreach from local to global scales. Your generosity has also fuelled medical research, bringing hope for a healthier future for everyone.
These 36-hour events engage alumni, staff, students, and friends worldwide. Together, we help ensure that Glasgow remains not just one of the world’s leading universities, but a university for the world.
There are many ways to get involved—attending events, sharing posts on social media, participating in online challenges and activities, or making a gift. Every year, we rely on as many people as possible to get involved.
Funds raised support three key areas: Student Support, Student Experience, and Global Health. Learn more about why these areas need your support by clicking on the pages below.
