Why Should I Participate?
Your participation is the best expression of your appreciation for the impact KNUST has made on your life. When you participate, you join others in pooling resources together so that we can blaze new trails. By giving back to KNUST, you are making a profound difference in the lives of many KNUST students, both today and tomorrow. Your gift of any amount will help provide the resources and create a congenial environment for students to realize their dreams, keep our campus safe, and demonstrate the love we have for KNUST to the entire community.
Are There Other Ways I Can Get Involved?
Certainly! Once you have access to a phone or computer and a few minutes to spare, you can volunteer as a Day of Giving Advocate. Reach out to friends and classmates to encourage their participation. You may also want to leverage your own gift to motivate others or set up a personal challenge to match donations from your classmates, brothers or sisters, teammates, etc. You can even help build awareness leading up to the day by sharing what you love most about KNUST using the hashtag #KNUSTDayofGiving.
