STAGiving Day 2026 at Fairfield University is on Wed., March 25, bringing together alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends for a 24-hour celebration of generosity.
The annual giving day supports scholarships, academics, athletics, campus ministry, and student opportunities—strengthening the Fairfield experience for today’s students and for generations to come.
Each spring, something meaningful happens across the Fairfield community: Alumni reconnect with the place that shaped them. Parents watch their students grow into their own Stag stories. Faculty, staff, and friends pause to invest in what comes next. For one day, those moments converge into a shared act of giving back.
Building on a Record-Setting STAGiving Day
Fairfield University’s 12th Annual STAGiving Day follows the most successful giving day in University history. Last year’s milestone reflected more than just numbers. It revealed a community, united by purpose, with generations of Stags showing up for one another and for the students who will follow.
A Tradition Rooted in Generosity
Since its launch, STAGiving Day has become a defining tradition on the Fairfield calendar—a moment when memories turn into action. While many supporters choose to give to a program or experience that shaped their time at Fairfield, The Fairfield Fund remains one of the most direct ways to make an immediate impact on every corner of the institution by sustaining students with immediate needs, fueling bold academic ideas, and supporting opportunities that can’t wait for the next budget cycle.
Whether it’s athletics, ministry, or one of the other incredible funding opportunities—however you choose to give—the spirit of STAGiving Day is simple. Every gift matters. A first contribution carries the same meaning as a leadership gift because each one reflects a shared belief in Fairfield’s mission and in the students who carry it forward.
