Wayne State Giving Day

All gifts, large and small, fuel how Detroit’s university can respond to what we face now — and how we can create the better world we’re reimagining.

Honors College Match by Dr. Irvin D. Reid
Dr. Irvin D. Reid, our WSU President Emeritus and our Honors College's namesake, is issuing a challenge with a $10,000 match gift: He will double-match any gift on Giving Day of at least $50. That means your $50 gift becomes $150; your $500 gift becomes $1500, and so on. Every dollar you give will bring another $2 from him--so if you've been thinking about making a gift, now is a great time to do it. Please join Dr. Reid in pledging your support to our students, helping them achieve a strong finish and a strong start to the next phase of their lives.
