1866 Minute Giving Challenge
The 1866 Minute Giving Challenge begins at 7:00 am Wed, Oct 25 & ends at 2:06 pm on Thurs, Oct 26
For 1,866 minutes each year, we solely focus on gaining support for KU organizations, projects, programs, and athletics. Gifts are encouraged online and can be made by phone, or by check/cash donations received in-person and by mail (between Oct 25 and Oct 26).
EVERYONE in the KU community can participate and collectively inspire others to support the goals of KU departments, clubs, organizations, programs, and athletics this year! This is a team effort…ask faculty, staff, and students connected to your mission to promote your efforts and fundraise! Tell folks about the incredible work you’re doing at KU and how much their support will make a difference!
