BGSU One Day 2021

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.

On April 6 and 7, you can make your donation online by clicking the “Give Now” button.

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, or our Student Emergency Fund. Both funds have direct impact on our students.

These are gifts that have been pledged by generous donors and are designed to increase the impact of support to our students on BGSU One Day. In many cases, the impact of your gift can be doubled, or even tripled, based on the challenge gift associated with your donation.

Thank you for your generosity! Please fill out the match and challenge gift form.
