The University of Reading Giving Day 2025 is a concentrated burst of fundraising activity, spread over 36 hours from 08:00 BST on Tuesday 29 April to 20:00 BST on Wednesday 30 April.
Reading Giving Day is an opportunity for all members of the Reading community to join together and collectively make a huge impact. Whether you are an alum, student, current or retired member of staff, member of the local community, or a supporter of Reading, there is a part for you to play.
By getting involved, you are unlocking potential for our current and future students at Reading and helping the local community.
Make the most of the challenge gifts—you will be helping to unlock thousands of pounds of larger gifts. There is no better time to give than now!
