Student Organization Giving Challenge 2025

Student Organizations are a big part of the GW experience. They provide leadership opportunities, physical outlets, technical skill building, and community building for students on and off campus. Student involvement and students' impactful work improve GW and the world around us daily.

From November 3 until December 2nd at 11:59 pm, the participating GW student organizations are asking you to make a gift to help them achieve their goals and have the resources they need to make a difference. 100% of your contribution will go to the organization you choose.

The top three teams that reach or surpass their donor goals will win additional prize money:

1st place - $1,000

2nd place - $500

3rd place - $250

The leaderboard is listed below - follow along and spread the word!

Thanks to the Office of the President, a $25,000 match is available for all participating student orgs! Each participating organization will have the opportunity to receive a portion of the $25,000 matching fund — every gift will be matched $20 until the matching fund is exhausted. Make sure to select your affiliation in order to trigger the matches.

Matches:

• Kick Off Event Match: $2,500
• Alumni Match: $5,000
• Families Match: $5,000
