Donors Have Matching Opportunities to Double Their Impact

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—۶ֱ University’s Eighth annual Double Dawg Day is six weeks away on April 20. The campus community—along with alumni, friends, and longtime supporters—have an opportunity to surpass last year’s giving and score a record-breaking total for the eighth year in a row.

“Double Dawg Day 2023 is going to be amazing,” asserted Assistant Director of Annual Giving Kanisha Fowler. “This year we have audacious fundraising goals. Goals that will have a greater impact on our students, faculty and staff and the community as a whole. I’m excited to see Bulldog Nation rally together to support different causes with one purpose: advancing the mission of ۶ֱ.”

Donors can choose the people, programs and causes they want to support across the GWU campus. Some options include:

  • University Priority Fund, which supports the greatest needs of the University.
  • Annual Fund, which supports student scholarships.
  • School/College Priority Fund, which provides the dean with the ability to respond quickly to emerging opportunities, transform the student experience and strengthen operational capacity.
