About

Together, we thrive!

Assumption’s Day of Giving brings our community together to support what matters most—our students. Timed with Duck Day, one of Assumption’s most joyful traditions, this giving day celebrates renewal, connection, and shared purpose.

Your gift to The Assumption Fund provides immediate support for financial aid, academic programs, student life, campus ministry, and more. Every contribution — no matter the size — ensures students can focus on learning, belonging, and becoming who they’re called to be. Join the momentum and help us unlock over $50,000 in donor challenges!

Join alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends in strengthening the Greyhound community and investing in the future of Assumption. Make a gift today!


Share your Greyhound pride and encourage your fellow Hounds to participate by giving to The Assumption Fund before the clock strikes midnight on Tuesday, April 21 by spreading the word on social media.

Every like, share, and comment helps amplify the message and bring more Hounds together on Assumption's Day of Giving!
