    Are you part of a UConn student group that wants to fundraise so you can better accomplish your goals?  Does your group want the chance to win bonus money for your group’s activities?  Are you interested in marketing, fundraising and giving back to the UConn community?

    Come check out Ignite at one of our informational sessions! Both Information sessions will be held at the UConn Foundation.

    • Monday December 1st from 5-6pm
    • Tuesday, December 2nd from 5-6pm

    The Ignite competition supports student fundraising efforts. Groups compete for points for the chance to win bonus money provided by the Foundation’s Board of Directors, who want to ensure UConn students know the value of fundraising and giving back to the UConn.

    Selected groups will use an online giving platform provided by the UConn Foundation, and will receive marketing and fundraising guidance from professional staff. Groups retain the funds that they raise through Ignite for the future use of their UConn cause, as well as any bonus money they receive.

    To be eligible, student groups must:

    • Be affiliated with the University through an approved University organization, academic, or research program. (Student organizations must be officially recognized by the Division of Student Affairs and have participated in SOLID Training.)
    • Have a faculty or staff advisor recommendation included in their application.
    • Have an established fund at the UConn Foundation. If you are unsure if your group has a fund, please call 860-486-1173 or email huskydrive@foundation.uconn.edu
