One Day for Iowa Raises More Than $1.1 Million

Check out some of our favorite social media posts from our online giving day, when more than 3,300 Hawkeyes gave back to the University of Iowa. Hawkeyes from all 50 states and across the globe came together to give back and support students, faculty, research, health care, athletics, and more during One Day for Iowa, the University of Iowa's 24-hour online giving day. The goal of One Day for Iowa is to increase participation year over year?every gift makes a difference no matter the amount. On March 24, 3,361 donors gave nearly $1,180,000. That is an increase of 1,400 donors from the 2019 giving day. The 2020 event was moved and ultimately cancelled due to the pandemic. Iowa alumni and friends were also encouraged to participate in donor-sponsored challenges, climb the leaderboard, and post to social media. In doing so, they helped unlock more than $300,000 in bonus money for their favorite areas on campus. More than 100 colleges, departments, and divisions worked to raise money for their areas on the giving day. Many sent emails and created unique social media posts to connect with their graduates and supporters. Ace is a proud @UIchildrens NICU graduate after 50+ days.
