Redbirds all over the country took part in Illinois State’s first Giving Tuesday on December 2, making 1,152 gifts totaling more than $331,400!

Hundreds of gifts came in from alumni, faculty, staff, students, and friends, many of whom shared their gift on Facebook and Twitter with the official hashtag #GivingTuesdayISU. Those who gave chose to support student scholarships, academic programs, and other favorite parts of campus.
