A Day to Give West
What is A Day?
Since 1982, the annual A Day to Give West fundraising drive has inspired students, rallied alumni, and encouraged community partners to give back in order to ensure their university’s continued success.

FOCUS FUNDS
This A Day we will direct our focus to 3 funds; the West Georgia Annual Fund, the General Scholarship Fund and the Wolves Fund. You can either designate your gift to your area of personal interest or you can direct your support towards one of the three focus funds.
West Georgia Annual Fund
Gifts to the West Georgia Annual Fund provide a crucial bridge between tuition revenue and the actual cost of operating the University, offering relief to the operating budget and directly affecting students, faculty and numerous programs across campus. Most importantly, the West Georgia Annual Fund gifts, regardless of the size, allow 博彩平台推荐 to respond to the most pressing financial concerns and provide the flexibility to seize unique and important opportunities.
General Scholarship Fund
The General Scholarship Fund supports scholarships for deserving students across all fields of study at 博彩平台推荐. Without your gifts to the General Scholarship Fund, many of our students may have trouble covering the cost of their education creating a barrier to completing their degree and entering the workforce. For the academic year 2022 approximately $1.7M will be awarded in student scholarship support.
Wolves Fund
The Wolves Fund supports our students through scholarships as well ensuring that all of our athletic facilities are cutting edge. Gifts to the Wolves Fund allow 博彩平台推荐 athletics to respond to the most pressing needs of our student athletes. We can currently offer 75% of allowable NCAA scholarships, help us to reach our goal of 100% by giving during this A Day season!
