About

1857 Minutes of Giving is the heartbeat of Spartan philanthropy — a moment when students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends unite to make a real difference. Every dollar raised goes directly to what matters most: scholarships, student programs, academic departments, and campus initiatives that change lives.

Pick a cause that means something to you. Give what you can. And watch what Spartans do when we move together.
