The Goal For This Year’s Giving Tuesday is $50,000

Last year, we surpassed our goals and celebrated the most successful Giving Tuesday in College history! Building on that momentum, we aim to make history once more by reaching $50,000 on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

• This Giving Tuesday, celebrate the season of thanks by honoring the Ramapo individual who’s made the biggest impact on your journey with a contribution of at least $25 — whether it’s a professor or administrator who inspired you, a coach who believed in you, or a teammate/classmate who always had your back.

Make your gift in their honor, and we’ll share your note of appreciation with them. Every contribution, no matter the size, fuels the spirit of community that makes Ramapo special — and brings us closer to our goals of 300 unique donors and $50,000 raised.

As we reach key donor milestones throughout the day, we’ll unlock an “Alumni Challenge” that will be activated ✅ and added to our total for Giving Tuesday. Each unlocker means even more support for Ramapo students, programs, and the people who make our campus thrive.

Give thanks. Give back. Honor your Roadrunner.

We’ve already secured support from several alumni who will help us unlock additional bonus funds throughout the day. Once we reach a specific level of donor participation. We’ll be even closer to our $50,000 overall goal!
