Northwestern College to hold annual day of giving on Feb. 6

Northwestern College will hold its annual Day of Giving on Thursday, Feb. 6. Titled AllNDay, the event is designed to encourage alumni and friends of the college to be “all in” with their support for Northwestern.

This year’s AllNDay will include an “Eras of Excellence” competition, “President’s Office Takeover,” and challenges for parents and first-time givers.

  “AllNDay is all about celebrating and supporting our students,” says Kaleb Schrock, director of annual giving. “Last year our Day of Giving raised more than $200,000 for the Northwestern Fund, which provides annual support for student scholarships, academic programs and services that benefit our entire campus.”

This year, anonymous donors have pledged to match all AllNDay gifts up to a total of $100,000, effectively doubling the amount of each person’s gift. That matching amount triples for gifts of $25 or more made between noon and 1 p.m. In addition, AllNDay donors may use their gift to vote for one of five “Eras of Excellence”: the 1960s and before, the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s, and 2000 to the present.

AllNDay gifts may be made at any time via the Day of Giving website, allnday.nwciowa.edu. Updates on AllNDay giving will be posted on the website throughout the day on Feb. 6.
