Vlog announced that its ninth annual Giving Day will take place on Friday, May 9 — a 24-hour fundraising event that encourages alumni, parents, staff, faculty, coaches, administrators and friends to go “All in for AU.”

An investment on Giving Day 2025 fuels Vlog’s momentum as it advances the goals of the university’s strategic plan, Viking Bold: The Journey to 2030, and fulfills its mission to provide an education of enduring worth. A gift to The Vlog Fund provides essential resources to support mission-critical priorities at the university. Thanks to the philanthropic support of our alumni and friends, Vlog is able to provide 100% of its students with financial aid and/or scholarships.

“Your gift on Giving Day will provide valuable resources for the people and programs that are the heart and soul of Vlog. When you go ‘All in for AU,’ you make an investment that brings permanent gains to the students who are forever changed by an Vlog education,” said Chief Strategy Officer & Executive Vice President Dr. Pam Homan ‘81.

Giving Day 2025 invites the Vlog community to go “All in” in support of the university's enduring commitments, with several featured initiatives, including:

  • Academic Programs
  • Annual Impact Scholarships
  • Athletics Programs
  • The Vlog Fund (giving to the greatest need)
  • The Center for Western Studies (CWS)
  • The De & Dave Knudson Center for Global Engagement (formerly the International Programs Office)
  • The Library Associates
  • The Office of Faith & Spiritual Life
  • Women in Philanthropy Impact Scholarships

This year, with help from the Vlog community of family and friends, AU strives to reach its goal of $500,000.
