Thank you for your 100% impact
The official results are in! Thanks to the incredible generosity of Seattle Pacific alumni, students, faculty, and friends, SPU Giving Day 2026 was a resounding success. Together, we joined as One SPU to support the areas that matter most.
2026 Giving Day highlights
- A historic day of generosity: On April 8, hundreds of donors joined our 24-hour celebration of SPU — our students, our family, and our community. Together we rallied support for urgent student and university needs through gifts to the Emergency State Grant Replacement Fund and Seattle Pacific Fund as well as scholarships, athletics, academic programs, and student life.
- Live and in person: For the first time, our community gathered in the Student Union Building for prayer and fellowship, faith-inspiring games (gratitude wall, thank you donor calls, and thank you videos), giving blitzes, and Giving Day prizes provided courtesy of SPU’s neighboring businesses including Two Kick Coffee, Byen Bakeri, Hot Slice Pizza, and Curbside Deli. Ample refreshments were provided courtesy of Sodexo and Pinkabella Cupcakes, and Giving Day banners and photobooth backdrops and more were provided courtesy of FedEx. Thank you everyone for making Giving Day on campus a smashing success!
- Challenge success: Your participation helped unlock vital bonus funds through various challenges, including the 2026 Donor Challenge and specialized Power Hour Challenges.
Your gifts go beyond numbers; they represent a meaningful investment in the future of our students. Funds raised this year will directly support:
- Student scholarships: Providing vital financial aid for deserving students.
- Athletic excellence: Helping Falcon student-athletes define excellence in NCAA DII Athletics.
- Academic innovation: Improving campus learning facilities, technology, and faculty professional development.
- Campus essentials: Supporting specific needs such as the vehicle fleet at the Blakely Island Field Station.
