Ignite at UConn
The Ignite program has supported student groups across the university for over a decade.
Peer to peer fundraising allows for students to connect and share the direct impact of what a gift to their Ignite group could do to better the UConn community. Participating groups can access a portion of $20,000 in prize money in addition to the funds they raise.
