Giving Tuesday is December 3, 2024
Giving Tuesday is a national day of philanthropy when non-profits ask supporters to make gifts to their worthy causes by following days of commerce (Black Friday, Small-Business Saturday and Cyber Monday) with a day dedicated to giving.
Kiski joined this non-profit initiative in 2015, and the Kiski community has rallied together each year to surpass the challenges created for that day. In doing so, they have unlocked tens of thousands of dollars in funding for our students, each year.
Our 2024 Giving Tuesday goal is to receive gifts from 250 donors during that special day.
FAQS:
What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday follows Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. Charitable organizations worldwide encourage their supporters to consider making a contribution on that specific day.
How much do I have to give to count?
A gift of any size will help us toward our goal. Each household can only count once toward the goal.
What if I already made my Kiski Fund gift this year?
While there is no expectation that you make another gift, we would welcome your additional support – in any amount – and can count it toward the Giving Tuesday goal.
What does a gift to The Kiski Fund support?
Kiski Fund gifts are directly applied to the annual operating budget. These are needs that are already calculated into the academic year, not extras. Although The Kiski Fund broadly supports the entire Kiski budget and the transformational experience for each Kiski student, more specific areas of support include: funding for curriculum enhancement, art supplies, athletic travel and equipment, building and grounds maintenance, financial aid, and student activities.
Will my gift be tax deductible?
Yes. Your contribution is tax deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.
What method of payment can I use?
You can give your gift using a credit card, PayPal, or Venmo.
