Give. Share. Inspire your fellow alumni on April 7–8. 

When Tulane alumni come together, the impact is extraordinary. The ninth annual Give Green: a Day for the Audacious returns April 7–8, and alumni like you are invited to help grow the movement by encouraging your classmates, friends and fellow alumni to join in supporting the university. 
 


“Alumni are at the heart of Tulane’s success and among the university’s most loyal and enduring supporters,” said Jenny Nathan Simoneaux, assistant vice president, annual giving. “Give Green empowers alumni to make a meaningful impact across the university, ensuring that future generations of students can benefit from the same transformative experiences they had.” 

Give Green continues to grow each year. In 2025, more than 5,000 participants came together to donate over $1.75 million, setting a new record for Tulane’s annual day of giving. 

But what makes Give Green truly powerful is that every gift counts. Whether it’s $10, $50 or $500, each contribution helps unlock matching gifts, participation challenges and prize funds that multiply the impact of every donation. 

“Give Green is about the power of collective giving,” added Nathan Simoneaux. “Imagine if each of us inspires just a few more friends or classmates to make a gift. The ripple effect for our students and campus would be incredible.” 

Every alumni gift during Give Green helps support the schools, programs and causes that matter most to the Tulane community — and when alumni participate together, the results can be transformational. 

Here are a few simple ways you can help amplify Give Green this year:

  • Make your gift on April 7–8 to the school, program or cause that means the most to you. No gift is too small — every contribution helps.
  • Share Tulane’s Give Green posts on social media to spread the word and inspire others to participate.
  • Reach out to classmates and friends and encourage them to join you in giving. 

On April 7–8, your generosity — and your voice — can help demonstrate the power of the Tulane alumni community. Together, even the smallest gifts can create a lasting impact for students and the future of the university.
