Why make a gift on NYU One Day?

Your gift on NYU One Day is more than a gift; it is helping NYU students achieve their dreams. Participating in NYU One Day sends a powerful message about the importance of higher education and the strength of our NYU community and its collective impact.

How do I decide where to give?

You can give anywhere that you are passionate about. You can give to the undergraduate or graduate schools with which you have a personal connection, or directly to programs and initiatives that will change the world.

How can my gifts make a difference?
