Giving Red and Blue Day

On Giving Red and Blue Day, undergraduate alumni, parents, and families are invited to come together in support of The Penn Fund, which helps provide grant-based financial aid packages, enhances academic programs and campus technology, and fosters community through student clubs and organizations. Often, Giving Red and Blue Day is also an opportunity to take advantage of matching challenge funds that could double your impact on student life and learning.

The fastest and easiest way to make your gift is by visiting our campaign-specific giving page.

To make your gift by credit card over the phone, please call (215) 898-8445. If you prefer to give through any other means and would like to be counted for Giving Red and Blue Day, please call (215) 898-8445 or email pennfund@lists.upenn.edu for more information.

Thank you for supporting The Penn Fund! Although the gift you made earlier this fiscal year will not count toward this effort, we welcome you to make an additional gift of any size in celebration of Giving Red and Blue Day. We also invite you to use our Volunteer Toolkit to help you reach out to your classmates and peers to encourage them to join you in supporting The Penn Fund.

Like all gifts made during this important philanthropic effort, any matching challenge funds will be allocated to The Penn Fund to provide increased support for undergraduate financial aid, student and campus life, and academic enrichment.

After unlocking our $300,000 challenge gift from Rana Yared, C’06, W’06, we now have another match opportunity. Thanks to a generous gift from Omar, W’04, and Sabrina Vaishnavi, an additional $25,000 will be matched dollar for dollar on Giving Red and Blue Day.
