Three programs seeking support on the global day of giving
The charitable season of giving unofficially kicks off Nov.油28 with油. Now entering its sixth year, the global day of giving encourages people油to give your time, a gift, or a donation to help their油local communities.油The 91心頭 is marking the day with several crowdfunding projects that are working toward油bettering our global community.
By uniting together on this day, we can bring attention to the local and global challenges that we face daily and share our capacity to care for and empower each other, says Lisa Feldman, executive director of 91心頭s office of油Annual and Leadership Giving.
91心頭Good, the Universitys crowdfunding platform, will support three油projects on #GivingTuesday.
The Veteran and Military Support油Initiative油will benefit the油Veterans Services油program at the 91心頭. This program helps support veterans and their families to ensure they are receiving their VA benefits and油provided with mental health services when necessary. The program also offers housing and employment support for student veterans. The assistance provided to veterans through 91心頭s Veterans Services, the油油and the油Sturm Specialty in Military Psychology油has helped rank 91心頭 as one of the油top油universities in the country for veterans.
The油Office of Native American Community Partnerships and Programs油was created to recruit more Native American students to the University and to develop retention programs through cultural programming. Donations made to this effort will benefit cultural programming such as the annual New Beginnings Pow Wow, Indigenous Peoples day and Native American Heritage Month. Each gift made to this cause is matched dollar for dollar by油, an alumni-owned American Indian eatery.

The油油kicked off a student matinee油series油this year. The program is the Newman Centers contribution to油, making the facility an open door to the community,油getting young students on campus and exposing them to the arts.油油was the first group to perform as part of the series. The group was in concert for two nights at 91心頭 and then performed a student matinee for nearly 1,000 students from Denver and Aurora public schools.
There are so many great programs at the 91心頭 that are focused on helping others, Feldman says. By contributing to student and faculty-led causes, we can make a positive impact in our community and world.
