Tiffin University Giving Day 2026

TU Giving Day is the day Dragons everywhere join forces to show our loyalty by stoking the fires that transform lives. 


Fuel the Fire Dragons!  You can help current and future students blaze new trails. When Dragons join forces, we are a phenomenon. Your gift will blaze new trails for current and future TU students who would rather stand out than fit in. Share your TU stories and the area of campus that captured your heart.


This year, we are able to accept Donor-Advised Funds directly through our giving forms via DAFpay. Just look for the DAFpay button at checkout! It’s fast, secure, and ensures your gift goes to work immediately.
