Who can participate?
Anyone is welcome to donate to the 1869 Challenge! We are relying on the strength of our Trinity Network—including alumni, students, employees, former employees, families, and friends—to band together and make University history with a record-breaking 3,100 gifts.
Can I designate my gift?
Yes! Give where it matters to you. You can designate your gift to any area of campus.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes, it is!
What's the giving minimum?
The minimum gift is $5.
How does counting for the challenges and leaderboards work?
If you find it in your heart to support multiple areas across campus, thank you! However, we will make adjustments on the back end if we identify "ballot-stuffing" - a large number of small gifts made to a specific area to inflate the number of donations. You will do more to support the areas you care about most by making your gift and then spreading the word to encourage others to join you.
Who is considered a Legacy?
If you and your parent or grandparent graduated from Trinity, you are a Legacy. If you graduated from Trinity and your child(ren) did too, you are a Legacy. If you and a sibling graduated from here, you are a Legacy.
