By Kendra Pintor

On March 25, 2026, 鶹ýӳ will kick off its annual Day of Giving—a 24-hour giving event dedicated to supporting the people, programs, and opportunities that make 鶹ýӳextraordinary. The College’s goal is to reach a minimum of 550 donors to participate in this year’s efforts.

“Our donors play a direct role in shaping the student experience at Scripps,” says Megan Hast, director of leadership annual giving and The 鶹ýӳFund. “Day of Giving is a shared moment to invest in what makes this College exceptional—from access and creativity to sustainability and academic exploration.”

In 2024, Scripps’ community comprised a total of 418 donors who raised $216,826 in cash gifts to support what they love about Scripps. Last year, Day of Giving exceeded virtually every expectation, surpassing the base goal of 425 donors by 138 percent, with more than 580 donors raising $183,286.

Internships

Internships offer students invaluable lessons and opportunities to practice what they have learned in their field of interest or to explore something new. More than 87 percent of students have had at least one internship during their time at Scripps, made possible by the generosity of donors like you!

SCORE CLORGS

鶹ýӳCommunities of Resources and Empowerment (SCORE) works closely with campus Clubs and Organizations (CLORGS) to build a community of people dedicated to enhancing and supporting inclusion and equity at 鶹ýӳ. You can help SCORE CLORGS provide programming and advising to students today!

A student club started in 1972 with a $50,000 donation by former Trustee Mary Wig ’35. Today’s SIF students manage an investment portfolio worth $600,000 and share up to 6 percent of their earnings with other student-led clubs and organizations. They are philanthropy in action!
