NAU Giving Day 2022

Lumberjacks are stronger together!

NAU Giving Day is your opportunity to celebrate what makes our community extraordinary—the kind, passionate, and generous people who care about NAU and its students. Dollars raised on Giving Day directly fund NAU projects, programs, scholarship and so much more. Your support ensures NAU’s commitment to student access and academic excellence remains a top priority. Your Axe of Kindness impacts every aspect of the NAU experience. Unite with your Lumberjack family to turn one day of giving into 365 days of impact!


Want to make a difference in the world, but don't know where to start?
Take this quiz to find out what kind of changemaker you are, and we'll recommend a specific fund to support.
