What is Jacket Giving Day?
Are you looking for an opportunity to make a difference? Look no further than Jacket Giving Day, the annual two-day online fundraising event hosted by Montana State University Billings.
Starting on Wednesday, March 20th at noon, Jacket Giving Day is your chance to give back to the community and support the causes you care about. With a countdown of 1,927 minutes to honor the university's founding year, this event is more than just a fundraiser - it's a celebration of the institution's rich history and bright future.
MSU Billings began as a small institution with a humble beginning, but it has grown to become a vibrant community with a student body of 3,900+ and a faculty/staff of 600+. Every dollar raised during Jacket Giving Day directly supports the students and programs at MSU Billings.
Whether you're an alumnus, parent, student, faculty member, staff member, or friend of the university, your contribution can make a real difference. Over the past six years, Jacket Giving Day has raised over $340,000+, and every dollar has impacted the student experience meaningfully. This year our overall goal is 300 donors over the 1,927 minutes.
Join us for Jacket Giving Day and be a part of something special. Your generosity can help shape the future of Montana State University Billings and positively impact the lives of its students.
