BGSU One Day 2019

Bowling Green State University’s dedicated Day of Giving, BGSU One Day, is a University-wide effort to inspire alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students and friends of BGSU to make a gift in support of their favorite BGSU college, program or cause.

Every gift makes a difference at BGSU. Since our founding in 1910, gifts of all forms and sizes have helped make BGSU a university of opportunity for students from all walks of life. Falcon alumni and friends have been giving back to the University for decades, but support is needed now more than ever. Your contribution on BGSU One Day shows the world the collective power of Falcon philanthropy.

You choose the area that means the most to you! If you are unsure, we recommend the Excellence Fund for BGSU which provides support for the areas of greatest need on campus. The Excellence Fund impacts scholarships, innovative learning spaces, recruitment of top faculty, and other emerging needs that directly support students.

You can make your donation online by clicking “Give Now” on our main webpage. If you prefer to make your gift through other means, please contact us for more details. To make a gift before April 2, click here.
