ON MARCH 14, 2018, BE #McGillPROUD AND FIND YOUR CAUSE

Published: 12 March 2018

McGill24 is all about the power of participation: when the McGill family comes together, we have a greater collective impact. The many ways in which McGill changes lives—by making a top-quality education accessible to deserving students, shaping tomorrow’s leaders and supporting research that is solving global problems—is a source of pride for us all.

Annual, flexible funding is critical to McGill’s success. These gifts go to work immediately to support the University’s most important initiatives, from scholarships to experiential learning opportunities for students. You may direct your unrestricted gift to any faculties and areas of McGill, towards any cause. What’s your cause?

Taking part in this day of giving is a way of standing up and demonstrating your pride in the values of McGill and in the powerful role it has in society. Every single gift counts, no matter what size, for as more people give, their gifts can count for more.

WHO DOESN’T LIKE A CHALLENGE?

On March 14, your gift can have an even bigger impact, thanks to a number of challenges across the University. Here’s how they work: several generous donors, who want to encourage others to join them in supporting McGill, have agreed to “unlock” additional funds once a target number of donations is reached. For instance, a donor may propose that if at least 50 people give to a particular faculty, that donor will contribute an additional $10,000 to that area. In some cases, every new gift beyond a set threshold will release even more funds, creating a multiplier effect that can amplify your support.

YOUR PARTICIPATION COUNTS FOR MORE ON McGill24

Amplify the impact of your gift:

Are you under 35? Did you graduate in the last 10 years? If so, when you give back on March 14, we will match your donation as part of our Young Alumni challenge.


We will match every donation made to a Seeds of Change project on McGill’s crowdfunding platform.

Support your faculty:

If you recall, last year McGill24 was the largest giving day in Canadian university history. In the Faculty of Dentistry, we raised over $39,000.

Please note that all donations should be made online, through the McGill24 website.
