About

Every year Brandeisians across the globe come together to celebrate all the ways our community is so special by giving back on #GivingDEISday. We're excited to announce that this year's event has been rescheduled for April 10, 2024.

Make a gift to your favorite area of campus during this annual crowdfunding campaign. When we reach 1,948 donors to the university, we will unlock an additional $100,000 for Brandeis students thanks to Dan Kazzaz '74, GSAS MA'74. In addition, we have other bonus funds up for grabs all day.
