Give 4 Garnet 2025

Give 4 Garnet is a special day each year when the University of South Carolina community comes together for 1 day, 8 hours, and 01 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. 

Yes. All gifts made to the University of South Carolina are tax deductible as prescribed by law. 

Yes, you can make as many gifts as you choose on a single donation page. At the top of the donation page, you will select the first area and fund option you wish to support. When you complete the donation amount for your first gift, simply click on "Add Another Gift to Your Donation" and a new set of information fields will open for your next gift.

Donating is fast and easy! Visit give4garnet.sc.edu after February 24 and before March 27 at 2:00 pm and select one of the many programs you can support. We encourage you to make your gift online to ensure that it will be counted in our giving day totals and that it will qualify for matches and challenges throughout the day. 

If you find it in your heart to support multiple areas across campus, thank you!  However, we will make adjustments on the back end if we identify "ballot-stuffing" - a large number of small gifts made to a specific area to inflate the number of donors or donations. You will do more to support the areas you care about most by making your gift and then spreading the word to encourage others to join you.

You can donate to USC Aiken (All 4 Aiken), USC Beaufort (Unite 4 USCB), USC Lancaster, USC Salkehatchie, USC Sumter, and USC Union.

You can make your gift February 24 through March 27, 2025 at 2:00 PM EDT via this website. Simply choose the area where you'd like to make your gift. All gifts are tax deductible. 

Give 4 Garnet is all about participation. We hope as many members of the South Carolina family as possible will make a gift because every little piece makes an impact! The University of South Carolina will be accepting donations of $5 or more during Give 4 Garnet.

Please call 877-349-2106 if you encounter any difficulty with the electronic donation process. We apologize for any inconvenience.
