On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, Olivet Nazarene University will host its 9th annual Day of Giving—a 24-hour celebration of generosity, unity and purpose. This year’s theme, All In. All Together., reflects the heart of the Olivet community as students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends come together to support more than 60 unique campus projects, including the first-ever student-voted project.

Hosted by the Office of Development, Day of Giving is not just a fundraiser; it’s an opportunity for the greater Olivet community to rally around a shared commitment to help students thrive—on campus, in the community, and beyond graduation.

How Olivet’s Day of Giving Supports Students and Campus Life

From academic programs and athletic initiatives to missions and student life enhancements, Day of Giving highlights the many ways the Olivet experience transforms lives. Whether it’s funding scholarships, expanding ministry opportunities, or investing in the campus community and innovation, every gift—big or small—makes a lasting difference.

This year, the University aims to raise $500,000 from 2,000 donors. Over 1,000 Day of Giving Champions are helping spread the word and amplify the impact through their personal networks—representing the ongoing strength, spirit and generosity of the Olivet family.

We invite you to be part of this exciting day. Visit olivet.edu/dayofgiving to explore the projects and join the fun!
