Join us for Giving Day 2026!

This year’s BU Giving Day takes place on April 8. But you can help make it a success right now, by becoming a Giving Day advocate.

Advocates help rally support for this global, 24-hour fundraising campaign—BU’s biggest philanthropic event of the year. As an advocate, you’ll encourage your fellow Terriers and friends to give to BU. And you’ll compete with other advocates to win bonus funds for the cause you care about most.

It only takes a minute to get started, so do it now!

Sign up as an advocate:

Once you’re signed up, you’ll receive a personal giving link on March 19 to share with all your friends, and to make your own gift to support what you love. You’ll get credit for every gift made through that link—and the more gifts you inspire, the better your chances of securing bonus funds.

Don’t worry: we have lots of tips to help you succeed! Check out the Advocates Resource Page to find a checklist of next steps, along with a toolkit of sample messages and images for email, text, and social media—and a few fun surprises, too!

Do it for what you love about BU. Do it because you care. Do it now.
