Franklin Day of Giving Returns April 15 to Move Franklin Forward
Franklin was never meant to stand still. Its distinction is built through rigorous inquiry, interdisciplinary exchange, and a global perspective. The environments where students learn must advance alongside that work.
On April 15, 2026, the Franklin community will come together for the Day of Giving, an annual opportunity to move Franklin forward and strengthen the spaces where students learn, collaborate, and engage with bold ideas.
Advance the Places & Spaces That Move the Next Generation Forward
Alumni, parents, and friends will unite to support classrooms that reflect the same energy, ambition, and innovation as the education within them. Inspired by the generosity of the Class of 2026, who are supporting this initiative through their senior gift, the community effort gains additional momentum. Momentum starts today, and every gift helps create spaces where students can refine ideas, challenge assumptions, and engage the world with perspective and purpose. This #OneDayOnePurpose Franklin comes together to advance the learning environments that shape the next generation.
“The Franklin Day of Giving is a chance for our entire community to come together and invest in the spaces where bold thinking and collaboration thrive,” says Nickolas Neibauer ’05, Director of Advancement and Alumni. “Every gift, from alumni, parents, and friends, helps ensure that Franklin students have the classrooms they need to explore, question, and lead.”
The Franklin Day of Giving invests directly in the places and spaces that shape the student experience. Contributions help renew key classroom spaces, enhance flexibility for collaboration, and support integrated technology that connects students across campus and around the world. With the Senior Class of 2026 joining the effort, every gift goes even further.
Your Impact
Every contribution matters. Together, Franklin is ensuring that students have the environments they need to learn, explore, and grow in ways that reflect the university’s commitment to bold thinking and meaningful dialogue. This is more than a renovation, it’s an investment in the future of how Franklin students learn.
