What is Giving Tuesday?
For Montclair State University, Giving Tuesday represents the chance to come together as a community of loyal supporters and give back to make an impact by supporting greatest needs at Montclair. This global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration is observed on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving. After the widely recognized shopping events of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, Giving Tuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources.
Giving to Montclair State University
When you give to Montclair, you make great things happen! You provide opportunities and create possibilities. State aid accounts for only 24% of Montclair State’s operating budget. Gifts to the Fund for Montclair State help close the gap and have a direct and meaningful impact on the lives of our students by providing much-needed support for scholarships; improvement to classrooms; laboratories and campus facilities; new program development; and technologies that give our students an edge in an increasingly competitive world.
