Marist Day of Giving 2026

THANK YOU!

From midnight to midnight, Red Foxes showed up in a way we’ve never seen before. Because of you, this became our most impactful Day of Giving yet.

Every gift helped move Marist forward—and will shape the experience of our students for years to come.

Thank you for being part of this moment. Stay tuned for final updates! 

Go Red Foxes,

We’ve officially surpassed last year’s donor total and dollars raised—and unlocked an additional $66,000 from the Board of Trustees.

And now—we’re closer than we’ve ever been.

We’ve never reached 4,000 donors before. And with just two hours to go, it’s within reach.

• Athletics is at $729,110—97% of goal
• Parents are just about 70 donors away from unlocking their challenge

This is a participation moment. Every gift—of any size—gets us closer to history.

If you’ve already given, thank you. Bring one more Red Fox with you.

Let’s do this!

This is where it gets exciting...

With major challenges within reach, a few hundred more donors—with gifts of ANY size—could be all it takes to unlock the funding that pushes us past $1 million tonight.

Across campus and beyond, the Marist community is showing up—and right now, we’re on the edge of unlocking thousands in additional support for our students.

Just 1 more donor unlocks $16,200 for Football

Help unlock an additional $66,000 from the Board of Trustees when we surpass last year’s donor total

17 more donors unlock $35,000 for the School of Science Advisory Board Challenge

320 parent donors unlock $54,500 to support the Marist experience

Only $765 more unlocks a $10,000 match for Women’s Rugby

Every single gift right now has the power to tip the scale.

Make your gift. Text a friend. Be the reason we unlock the next challenge!

If every donor who’s already made a gift today convinced just one more person in their network to give right now, we’d immediately crush our goal of 4,000 donors and show the world what can happen when Red Foxes rally behind Marist. 

That’s all it takes—one text, one post, one ask. This is how momentum builds and how Red Foxes rise together. 

Who’s your +1?

We did it—thanks to you, we’ve officially unlocked the $200,000 Board of Trustees Challenge! 

Even more, we’ve reached 2,000 donors, putting us halfway to our goal of 4,000. 

This is what momentum looks like—one community coming together to make a real impact. 

Let’s keep rising and finish strong, Red Foxes!

Thanks to the incredible momentum of the Marist community, we’ve officially surpassed half a million dollars on Day of Giving. 

Every gift is fueling scholarships, opportunities, and experiences that define the Marist journey. 

And we’re not done yet—there’s still time to be part of this collective impact and help us reach even greater heights. 

Let’s keep it going—Red Foxes Rise Together!

We’re more than halfway to unlocking a major $200,000 Board of Trustees challenge gift. 

Help us turn this moment into impact—your gift can help push us over the top and unlock this tremendous support for the Marist experience.

Only another 886 donors are needed to reach the challenge goal!

Marist, the foxes are back! 🦊  

For the third year in a row, Frankies are hiding across campus for Marist’s Day of Giving. And right now… 20 foxes are out there waiting to be found.  

Find one, and you can direct real donor dollars—no wallet needed. Just speed, savvy, and school spirit.  

Here’s how it works:  

Hunt for one of 20 hidden Frankies across campus.  

Each Frankie is sponsored by faculty and staff at $100 each.  

When you find a Frankie, YOU choose where those donor dollars go: the Marist Fund, scholarships, athletics, academic schools, student clubs, or any area that has shaped your Marist experience.  

Every Frankie represents a chance to make an impact. Thanks to donor generosity, finding one means you’re helping direct real support to the Marist areas you care about.  

Need a hint? Clues for each hiding spot are posted on our 2026 Day of Giving campaign page and updated in real time as Frankies are found... so keep checking back.  

The hunt is on.  
20 foxes. 20 chances to give back without spending a cent.  
Find one. Fund what matters to you. 🦊🔥
