Celebrate the founding of The Catholic University of America by participating in our annual day of giving!
Every year in early April, we come together as a community to make a difference for our University and celebrate the day CatholicU was founded, April 10, 1887, by conducting an annual giving challenge. By presenting shared goals and stimulating friendly rivalries, we foster a communal sense of Cardinal pride.
As an individual, you can vie for glory on social media and garner support for your alma mater. Dive into the challenge and help your favorite department, school, athletic team, or student organization win great prizes from generous donors!
No matter the size of your gift, you make The Founders Day Giving Challenge successful just by participating. Get started today!
