October 21-22, 2025
Let's Aim for 4,000 Donors in Two Days!

It’s time to rise and shout for BYU football, homecoming events, Cosmo antics—and Giving Cougsday! On October 21-22, 2025, we’re calling on all students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends to “share your light” and make a gift of any amount.

You decide where your dollars make an impact; whether it is inspiring learning, athletics, alumni chapter scholarships, or investing in a specific college, the choice is yours. All Giving Cougsday donations directly support students.

Remember, it’s participation that matters. Every gift brings us closer to our 4,000-donor goal, and the more important goal of helping deserving students.

Go Cougs!
