Student Giving at UConn:
Join the HuskyDrive campaign!
Last year, more than 500 UConn students donated $34,620 to various programs and organizations at the University and secured a $25,000 challenge gift from alumni David Barton. The total amount raised by students was over $59,000! Students from every class contributed, supporting everything from the Fund for UConn, to specific areas like Student Activities and the Library.

NEW FOR 2012! Graduating students can now easily turn their long-forgotten first-year deposits into a philanthropic donation! Click here for more information and click here to donate your unused deposit!
Student giving helps forge a lifetime connection to UConn and exemplifies their pride in this great University. Dave Barton ’61 and UConn trustee Denis Nayden ’76 ’77 have joined together to challenge UConn students to increase their giving this year.
If students donate a combined $50,000 to UConn before June 30, 2012, their gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar to the Fund for UConn—providing more resources for the areas of greatest need on campus. We need EVERY UConn student to give a little so we can meet the challenge. Students are encouraged to give $10, $20.12, or more to any area of UConn they are passionate about. Each gift will help us raise up to $100,000 for UConn!
To recap, your donation will be DOUBLED!
$100,000 to support UConn helping to defray increasing costs of tuition and keeping UConn a TOP 20 school!
Our deadline: June 30, 2012
