Thank you to everyone who participated in Mizzou Giving Day and to those that helped with the marketing through social media. The day was a success, to say the least. When the online portion of the event came to a close, Mizzou had raised $8,295,842 from 3,590 gifts! Counting will continue until 5:00 today and a final number will be released sometime next week.
The library had 116 gifts totaling $69,277. Two additional gifts will be included in our final total, taking the library number to about $115,000!! All gifts were cash or stock, no estate gifts or other deferred gifts. That is a huge cash number for the Libraries!
You can see how we stacked up with other units here: https://givingday.missouri.edu/challenges.aspx
This was an exceptional result for our first ever “Giving Day.” I know University Libraries will build on this success and surpass these numbers next year. Thanks again to everyone that participated.
Cheers!
Matt
