Ducks Give
Thursday, May 14, 2026
Join Ducks across campus and around the world for Ducks Give on May 14—a powerful 24-hour celebration of community and impact at the University of Oregon. Last year, together, we reached new heights, raising $2.09 million from a record-breaking 4,064 gifts. This year, let’s rise even higher. Every gift counts. During this one-day event, you can amplify your impact through exciting challenge gifts and support the students, research, and programs that matter most to you. Watch your inbox for reminders and giving opportunities, and follow the momentum on social media using #DucksGive as we come together for an unforgettable day of generosity. Rise with us—and make your mark during Ducks Give!
Become a Ducks Give ambassador
We only have twenty-four hours to reach as many Ducks and friends of the university as we can—so we need your help!
Encourage your network to be philanthropists for a day. People are most likely to make a gift when asked by a loved one or peer, so your participation makes a huge difference!
As a Ducks Give Ambassador, you’ll:
- Make your gift to the UO group or fund that means the most to you.
- Share your Ducks pride by sending personal messages to your friends, family, and peers.
- Spread the word by posting about Ducks Give on your social platforms.
- Earn special swag from gifts you raise!

University Day
University Day is a campus-wide beautification event that takes place each spring. Hundreds of students, staff, and faculty members gather together to plant flowers, spread bark dust, and participate in small projects on campus that will benefit our local community. We also invite community members to join us!
This year's University Day, or U-Day, will be on Thursday, May 14, 2026, from 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
