HAYS, Kan. – Tiger fans around the world will come together to support Fort Hays State University for Giving Day on Tuesday, April 16. Visit FHSUGivingDay.com to make a gift to the area of FHSU that means the most to you.

This year, the 24-hour fundraising effort features 15 projects across academic departments, organizations, and teams. Making a gift to the area of campus that you’re most connected to is one way you can make a difference this Giving Day. If you’re not sure where you’d like your support to go, consider giving to projects like the new Bickle-Schmidt Athletic Complex or the upcoming Forsyth Library renovation. If there’s a scholarship, student organization, or club you’d like to support that isn’t highlighted on the website, simply click the “Write-In Projects” option and specify where you’d like your gift to go.

Based on your overall gift size, the FHSU Foundation will mail you exclusive Fort Hays State merchandise to thank you for participating in Giving Day. Donors who give:

• $10+ will receive a premium FHSU sticker
• $50+ will receive an FHSU koozie and a sticker
• $100+ will receive an FHSU license plate, koozie, and sticker

More than 1,200 Tiger fans came together for last year’s third annual Giving Day to raise more than $200,000.

“Each year, Giving Day reminds me how much the Tiger family values giving back to our students and Fort Hays State,” said Erica Fisher, Director of Annual Giving for the FHSU Foundation, “Please help make this Giving Day our best yet on Tuesday, April 16, by supporting students and projects across campus.”

Along with making a gift, Tiger fans can help spread the word by talking about Giving Day with friends, family, classmates, and colleagues. FHSUGivingDay.com makes sharing your support of FHSU’s Giving Day on Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly known as Twitter) easy by providing sample text and graphics in a digital resource hub.
