Maritime College’s inaugural Giving Day is on April 22, 2025, from 12:00 PM ET to 11:59 AM ET on April 23, 2025.

Everyone is encouraged to participate—including alumni, parents, grandparents, relatives, friends of the College, and community members. Your gift of any size helps support scholarships, academics, athletics, and other programs that directly impact the student experience and build on Maritime’s 150-year legacy.

Yes! Early gifts can be made directly through the Giving Day campaign website using the “MAKE A GIFT” button. These gifts will be reflected when the campaign officially launches on April 22.

All gifts on Giving Day count toward our overall donor goal. If your preferred designation isn’t listed, simply select the "Other" option and indicate where you’d like your gift to go.

Maritime College employees can make a gift through the Giving Day site or submit a Payroll deduction request to human resources. We invite you to make a gift or increase your support during this special day.

Like many non-profits and crowdfunding platforms, we accept optional fee coverage. Donor contributions help make it possible for 100% of your gift to go directly to your preferred area of support.
