UNF Giving Day breaks record with over $2.4M raised from more than 4,500 donors
The University of North Florida’s 2025 annual Giving Day raised $2,407,024 from 4,513 donors, surpassing the goal of 4,500 donors and marking UNF’s largest single day of fundraising. Donors included students, faculty, staff, alumni, family, corporate partners and friends of the university.
Giving Day gifts provide funding for current scholarships, clubs, programs and initiatives that support transformational learning opportunities and services that ensure students have what they need to achieve lasting success.
Athletics saw the largest collection of gifts alongside campus-wide initiatives such as the Lend-A-Wing Food Pantry. Each college and area of giving featured in this year’s Giving Day Challenge saw donorship increases compared to 2024.
Successful donor engagement unlocked fundraising challenges and matches spanning multiple departments and units, including a $5,000 match from parents of THRIVE students, a $1,000 match from Bruce Ogier for the Frederick and Ophelia Tate Ogier Gardens, and Nick Morrow, UNF athletic director, matching $5 for every donor of $50 or more to the Osprey Club Annual Fund to enhance the student-athlete experience for UNF’s 320 student-athletes.
UNF President Moez Limayem praised the Giving Day 2025 fundraiser and shared his thanks with the Osprey community for coming together to support important initiatives across campus.
“The outpouring of Giving Day support is truly incredible to witness,” said UNF President Moez Limayem. “Every donation goes toward initiatives that help our students and make a real impact on campus and in our community.”
Last year, 4,352 donors gave $2,312,312 for Giving Day.
