Day of Giving: April 22, 2026

Every year, for 24 hours in April, the Chatham community comes together on the Day of Giving with a shared purpose to generously invest in our mission and support: academics, athletics, and the student experience; Shadyside Campus enhancements and facility investments; and the University's most pressing priorities. Your gift for the 2026 Day of Giving on April 22 ensures every dollar counts, every donor matters, and every gift moves Chatham forward!
