Support USC through its Give 4 Garnet campaign

The gift-giving effort aims to support university departments, and your support can help causes unlock financial bonuses.

Gamecocks, it’s time to flock together. The University of South Carolina’s Give 4 Garnet campaign kicks off today — an effort that aims to raise funds and invest in the future of the university.

The campaign runs for 1 day, 8 hours, and 01 second to commemorate the university’s founding in 1801. Donors are able to select which causes benefit from their gift, including academic programs, athletic teams, student organizations, and other aspects of campus life. You can even take a quiz to determine which cause you’d like to support.

Want to know how the effort is doing? You can check the leader board to see which causes are getting the most action. There are some bonuses for organizations that reach specific goals, and if you choose to make a gift, it is tax deductible.
