Mountaineer Gives Day
March 3, 2026
Annual Day of Giving
Mountaineer Gives Day is Western Colorado University’s annual day of giving. It is a 24-hour celebration of generosity that brings together alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents, and friends to support the programs, scholarships, and experiences that make Western such a special place.
Now entering its second year, Mountaineer Gives Day is designed to unite our community around a shared purpose: investing in students and ensuring Western continues to thrive for generations to come.

What Is Mountaineer Gives Day?
Mountaineer Gives Day is a one-day fundraising event that amplifies the collective impact of giving. Throughout the day, supporters are invited to make a gift to the area of Western that matters most to them, including scholarships and academic programs, athletics, campus initiatives, and student support funds.
Every gift, no matter the size, contributes to a larger story of impact and momentum for Western Colorado University.
Why It Matters
Mountaineer Gives Day is about more than fundraising; it’s about participation, pride, and connection. When our community comes together in a concentrated moment of giving, it:
- Expands access to scholarships and financial support for students
- Strengthens academic and co-curricular programs
- Encourages broad participation and collective impact
- Celebrates the shared commitment Mountaineers have to Western
This Day shows what’s possible when generosity is multiplied.
How It Works
- Mountaineer Gives Day takes place over 24 hours on March 3, 2026.
- Supporters will be able to give online through a dedicated fundraising platform.
- Donors may choose to support a specific fund, program, or initiative aligned with their passions.
More details, including participating funds, challenges, and ways to get involved, will be shared as the day approaches.
