The 2024 total marked a $74,200 increase in overall dollars raised from 2023 and an increase in overall donors by 143 compared to last year’s campaign. Seventy-five departments had 100% participation, 10 more than last year.

“I’m continually inspired by the generosity of our Augusta University employees,” said Tina Baggott, interim vice president for Development in Philanthropy & Alumni Engagement. “Their kindness creates positive change for our students and patients. By supporting AU’s colleges, programs and services, they have showcased the heart of our mission. As proud ambassadors of this wonderful institution, our giving encourages alumni, donors and our community to join the cause. Together, we are cultivating a culture of giving that resonates far beyond our campus.”

The list of all the departments with 100% participation is available on the IGIVE website.
