2026 IGIVE Augusta University employee giving campaign kicks off Aug. 25

Fall Semester at Augusta University is a busy time and this year is no different. The campus is buzzing with ongoing campus improvements, move-in week, Fall Kickoff and Freshman Convocation. It’s also time for all Augusta University employees to show their Jaguar pride by supporting programs and initiatives they care about through IGIVE, the annual Augusta University employee giving campaign.

Whether it’s to support students, research, athletics, patient care or beyond, IGIVE offers employees the opportunity to give back to the people, programs and priorities that matter most to them at Augusta University.

“IGIVE gives faculty and staff a meaningful way to support the parts of AU that matter most to them, and it sends a powerful message beyond our campuses, too,” said Jeff Snow, AU’s executive vice president for Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement. “When the people closest to this institution choose to give back, it tells the world we believe in the life-changing, life-saving education we provide here. After a year of getting to know this community, I believe that more than ever. I hope you’ll join me in this year’s campaign.”

This year, IGIVE begins Tuesday, Aug. 25, and runs through Oct. 6. Because of ongoing improvements to The Grove on the Summerville Campus, this year’s event has moved to the JSAC Field.

As in past years, you’ll find music, food and an exclusive IGIVE T-shirt waiting when you stop by to make or renew your gift or pledge. Mark your calendar for the dates below and join us for a kickoff event near you.

“Since joining Augusta University, I can say with confidence that the passion I sensed in my first months here was just the beginning,” Snow said. “IGIVE is our chance, together, to turn that passion into action for our students and the AU community. I’m honored to participate again this year. Go Jags!”
