WHAT IS SMU GIVING DAY?

SMU Giving Day is our annual one-day giving challenge – it’s the one day of the year when the entire SMU community comes together to combine their support and maximize impact.

WHY SHOULD I GIVE TO SMU?

When you give to SMU, you shape people and programs who are changing the world – and you invest in a new generation of world changers. SMU donors power the University’s rise in impact and national prominence – and they secure the foundation for even more ambitious efforts in the decades ahead.
