The Big Give

The Big Give is a 36-hour fundraising campaign that provides an opportunity for supporters of USD School of Law to make a big impact on current and future students. Gifts made within the time frame will benefit the law school and will count for the totals of the Big Give.

The Big Give is a virtual event that is taking place online and over the phone within the 36-hour timeframe. Any individual, law firm or business can make a gift to support the Big Give. All gifts made between 9 a.m. PST on Wednesday, April 7, 2021 and 9 p.m. PST on Thursday, April 8, 2021 will count. Gifts made online and over the phone will count toward the Big Give. Additionally, all gifts made prior to the Big Give through the 'Give Now' button at the top of the page or at law.sandiego.edu/biggive will count for the totals.

Anyone and everyone is encouraged to participate. This means alumni, students, faculty, staff, law firms, businesses and community partners.

You have the option of giving to a variety of areas of the law school. The area you choose to designate your gift will receive 100 percent of your contribution and used at their discretion to support their biggest need.

The highest fundraising priority is raising money for student scholarships, legal clinics fellowships, and diversity efforts at the law school. Gifts to support any of these areas are essential as we work to limit the debt load our graduates accrue, build a more diverse student body and attract top students who will become future leaders in the legal profession and in their communities.
