Support the Public and Nonprofit Leaders of Tomorrow: Giving Day 2026

DONATE NOW >

During Rutgers Giving Day, SPAA alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends join together to give back to programs that empower students to make change in the world.

Giving Day 2026 offers the SPAA family a 24-hour window to showcase our philanthropic Rutgers pride on Friday, April 24. Help us reach our goal of $3,000. 

This year, you can double your impact: Dean Kaifeng Yang will be personally matching the first $1,000 given to SPAA's Academic Excellence Fund!

Giving Day engages our supporters who share Rutgers core values: access to academic excellence; building community through respect and service; and a commitment to the common good through the excellence of our service organizations, scholarly research, and outreach programs.

Your gift during Rutgers Giving Day can support innovation to strengthen programs that benefit people across New Jersey and beyond to help build the future our nation needs now.
