So many different L&C programs rely on your support, and we know the power of your generosity is best unleashed when you can choose where it makes the greatest impact. Read on to find out what our community chose to support this year.

Lewis & Clark’s spin on #GivingTuesday—Giving Choose Day—was a resounding success this year, demonstrating the incredible power of our community. Thanks to the generosity of alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends, we successfully exceeded our goals!

Your Achievements:

  • Total Raised: Over $44,000 will immediately support vital programs and initiatives across the institution.

  • Participation: More than 130 donors participated, exceeding the 100-donor goal and confirming the community’s commitment.

Challenges Unlocked:

The challenges presented to the community were successfully unlocked:

  • The initial $5,000 Challenge Match was fully secured, doubling the impact of early gifts.

  • The Young Alumni Challenge participation goal was met, unlocking an additional $750 bonus dedicated to L&C’s greatest needs.

These funds will support everything from crucial student scholarships and academic department enhancements to student groups and activities. Every dollar reflects a direct choice by our donors to invest in the success and future of Lewis & Clark students.

While the official Giving Choose Day has concluded, our giving page remains live, and participating student clubs will be fundraising through the end of the year. If you were inspired by the community’s success, you can still make a gift today!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made their choice and contributed to this record-breaking day!
