Save the date for December 1, when Carleton University and its broader communities come together to celebrate Giving Tuesday for the 14th consecutive year. Your gift helps empower students and researchers with the resources they need to turn ideas into action, advance important causes and create tangible impact. Together, we can help create a brighter future. 

Thanks to the generous support of the Carleton University Alumni Association, over $20,000 in funding is available through this year’s Giving Tuesday Challenges. By participating in a challenge below, you have a chance to win additional funding for the fund you supported!
