RPi Giving Day is here!

Welcome back to Rπ Giving Day! We are excited for a fun and engaging day filled with team competitions, matches, challenges, and prize drawings, all in support of RPI students.

Your gift today is even more meaningful this Rπ Giving Day as we launch our strategic plan, RPI Forward, and prepare for the next 200 years of RPI history.

This day-long event supports our students, teams and student-athletes, clubs and activities, fraternities and sororities, scholarships, and our area of greatest need – the Rensselaer Annual Fund.

In celebration of this special day, we hope you consider making a contribution to support students. Show your pride and Rπ spirit and help us reach our goal!

Visit our matches and challenges page to learn more about all the ways you can increase your impact throughout the day. We also have several prize drawings happening, including our popular Cutie π Pet Drawing!

We hope we can count on your support and participation for students on Rπ Giving Day. Thank you!
