Give 4 Garnet 2023

Give 4 Garnet is a special day each year when the University of South Carolina community comes together for 18 hours and one minute (in honor of our founding in 1801) to celebrate the significant impact that USC has on our community, state, and world. All alumni, parents, friends, students, faculty and staff will unite on one day, with one voice, to make an investment in the future of South Carolina. You choose where you want your gift to make an impact by selecting the fund that means the most to you. Don't forget about the challenges throughout that day that will make your gift go farther and do more than any other time of year!

Give 4 Garnet donors are encouraged to give to whichever school, college, program or area that means the most to them. There are options for supporting a variety of needs and passions.

Generous donors to the University of South Carolina have provided challenge funds that will be unlocked once we reach predetermined goals. These funds will increase the impact of your gifts and provide excitement for the event. Check the Challenges tab above the banner at the top of this page for more information.

Thanks for your enthusiastic support! We could not have a successful event without the support of our ambassadors. We'd love it if you would help us spread the word about Give 4 Garnet by signing up here to become a social media ambassador so that you can share your USC pride and make an impact on the university.
