What you—what we— did yesterday on #TuftsGivingTuesday made a difference. 

 

In a time when we can feel so far apart, the worldwide Tufts community came together. Your gift—and those from more than 8,500 others—demonstrated our commitment to today’s students and faculty. We shattered records, collectively contributing more than $3.5 million university-wide.

 

Thank you for being a part of this important Tufts tradition and for your commitment to building a brighter world. 

 

More than 80 challenges were completed university-wide. Our gifts supported scientists and scholars, citizens and leaders, activists and innovators. We helped create space for complex and complicated dialogue. Together, we helped build something that will last far beyond today.
