Giving Days 2026

Where Champions Become Leaders

This April, Falcons everywhere are invited to come together in support of UW-River Falls during Giving Days 2026. Every gift, no matter the size, helps expand opportunities for students, strengthen programs and fuel innovation across campus.

All gifts made to Giving Days funds throughout the month of April will count toward our campaign goal, building momentum as our Falcon community rallies together to support the future of UWRF.

Be part of the momentum. Give, share and help Falcons soar.
