The University of Cincinnati will participate in Giving Tuesday on Dec. 1.
The university has joined the international day of generosity for the tenth consecutive year. This annual campaign encourages alumni, faculty, staff, and friends to make gifts to specific funds. The goal is to support student success and medical research at UC and UC Health.
A primary focus this year is the Bearcats Pantry & Resource Center. The program is approaching its 10th anniversary on campus. It provides students with food staples, hygiene items, and cleaning supplies. The center aims to reduce financial barriers for students facing economic challenges. This support allows students to focus on their education and quality of life.
Chief Alumni Officer Jennifer Heisey, a 1997 graduate, stated the university looks forward to seeing the community unite. She said donors will help strengthen the institution and advance initiatives that make a lasting impact across UC and UC Health.
UC is offering a collectible ornament to anyone who makes a gift of $25 or more by Dec. 1. Donors can choose from hundreds of causes. Options include the UC Fund for Scholarships, which invests in student futures. The UC Gen1/1MPACT House empowers first-generation students. The UC Health Area of Greatest Need Fund advances care and discovery. The Athletics Impact Fund helps teams compete for championships.
The university invites the global Bearcat community to give to the causes closest to their hearts. Gifts will support specific programs that address food insecurity and improve student outcomes. The Dec. 1 date marks the end of the giving window for this year's ornament incentive.
