About


At Capital University, you can โ€œBe the Sparkโ€ during Day of Giving! This exciting 24-hour online event invites alumni, friends, family, and the campus community to come together to be a part of a collective impact illuminating possibilities for the areas they care about most.

Every gift, no matter the size, is part of a greater collective impact in helping achieve our mission on this Day of Giving: to enhance the student experience of our students across campus, our athletic teams, downtown at the Law School, and our neighbors at Trinity Lutheran Seminary. 

Help us reach our goal of 450 donors and have some fun along the way unlocking challenge funds by showing your support! Be sure to follow along on our leaderboards when we go live to see which graduating class lands on top this year.
