GOVing Tuesday



Welcome to the GOVing Tuesday 2023 Hub! GOVing Tuesday is Austin Peay's version of Giving Tuesday, the national giving day celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving every year. This year, we decided to switch things up and move to a fundable project day. A committee of faculty, staff, alumni and students selected eleven projects from over 45 applications across the University to focus on this year. Our goal is that we end the day on Nov. 28 with all of these projects fully funded. Your gifts today will make an immediate impact, and you will get to choose exactly what your dollars support. There are a few ways to give.

  1. You can split your gift across multiple projects by clicking the donate button above.
  2. You can choose a specific project by clicking the donate button below that project.

Please take a moment and read about each project before you make your selection. If the project you are interested in is fully funded, you can give to another project and help get it over the finish line, or give to your first choice project, and any funds over the amount needed for the project will go to the Fund of Excellence for that area.

If you have any questions or need help navigating the page, reach out to Sam Mynhier (931)221-6458 mynhiers@apsu.edu
