Welcome to NOVA Giving Day 2026!
The NOVA Foundation is honored to host the 5th annual NOVA Giving Day on April 23. This fundraising challenge involves all members of the #boldlyNOVA community. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, friends, family and the broader community are invited to participate in what is one of the Foundation’s biggest annual days of giving. All funds raised support the NOVA Empower Bright Futures Fund, a versatile fund that provides flexibility and 'just-in-time' funds to meet emerging needs of the College.
Every gift on Giving Day fuels life-changing support for NOVA students and their families, helping them overcome barriers, advance their education, and realize bright futures.
We have never had such an incredible double opportunity on Giving Day to multiply your impact and support our amazing NOVA students.
Huge thanks to NOVA donors Steve and Anne Altizer for providing a match for all gifts up to a total of $25,000 and to Steve and Debbie Cohen for providing a challenge grant: For every $12,000 we raise, they will contribute an additional $9,000 up to a total of $45,000.

- More scholarships awarded
