Giving to Grow – Thursday, March 26
On Thursday, March 26, the Metro State community will come together for Giving to Grow, our annual Day of Giving focused on student success. This year, gifts will support student scholarships, the SAFE Fund, and stipends for unpaid internships, removing barriers and opening doors for our students. As an alum, there are many meaningful ways to make an impact. Whether you give, volunteer your time, or serve as an Ambassador, your involvement helps strengthen the Metro State community.
Learn more about becoming a Giving to Grow Ambassador and how to make your gift on the Giving to Grow webpage.

Week of Service opportunities

Help build excitement and awareness during our Day of Giving! Volunteers will engage with students, staff, and campus visitors while sharing the impact of the SAFE Fund and encouraging participation throughout the day. Sign up to learn more.

Join us in Student Center Room 101 on March 26 for a special Thank-a-Thon event. Volunteers will personally thank donors in real time, helping us express gratitude and strengthen our alumni and donor community. Three volunteer shifts are available between 12 and 9 p.m.
