The All In 24-Hour Giving Challenge is our opportunity to support, share, and celebrate everything that makes this University and our students exceptional. For the past nine years, the Drake community has come together in inspirational ways to go All In for this University. This year, as we mark our 10th All In, we are excited to announce an overall matching challenge: if we reach our goal of 1,250 gifts, we will unlock $110,000 for Drake!
In addition to the overall match, there are also tens of thousands of incentives available with specific challenges for each college and school, athletics, fine arts, students, first-time donors, and more. A gift of any amount, to any area, will be doubled or even tripled through these generous matching opportunities. When you support Drake during All In, you are embracing and empowering the innovations, connections, achievements, and opportunities that happen here each day.
New this year for Drake faculty and staff:
- In celebration of your support to All In, Griff II wants to honor faculty and staff. Departments with a participation rate of 75% or higher will be entered into a drawing for one of two prizes:
1. Professional headshots with Griff II
2. Treats delivered by Griff II to your department
- Any Drake faculty or staff member that makes a gift during All In will be entered into a drawing for a free parking pass for Commuter Tier II Parking Lots (valued at $125).
- When you make a gift to the area that means the most to you, Vice President for University Advancement, John Smith, AS’92, GR’00 and, Mary Kay Smith, AS’91, GR’07, will match your gifts up to $4,500. John and Mary Kay are also proud Drake parents of a 2021 graduate.
Join your fellow faculty and staff and go All In for our Bulldog community March 2–3. Learn more at drake.edu/allin and follow all the fun and excitement on the Drake University and Drake Alumni social media channels.
