Longwood Day of Giving 2027

Longwood Day of Giving is a 24-hour fundraising celebration taking place February 24-25, 2027, from noon to noon.  It brings together alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and friends to support the areas of Longwood University they care about most. 

Private support plays an important role in Longwood's success.  Gifts from alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends help fund scholarships, strengthen academic programs, enhance athletics, and provide hands-on learning opportunities for students.  

Every gift, regardless of size, contributes to the collective impact of our Lancer community.  Together, we open doors, create opportunities, and strengthen the Longwood experience for years to come.  

You can direct your gift to the area of Longwood that matters most to you!  With a variety of participating programs, departments, and initiatives, there are many ways to make an impact.  

You can support scholarships, academic departments, athletics, and other University priorities.  You may also designate gifts to multiple participating areas.

Visit the Day of Giving website to explore participating campaigns and choose the area or areas you would like to support.
