GBU Foundation Day of Giving

August 14, 2023

Mark your calendars. Monday, October 23, 2023, will be the GBU Foundation's Inaugural Day of Giving!

The GBU Foundation is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2023, as October 23, 1963, was GBU's official founding day!

The GBU Foundation will launch a Day of Giving campaign on October 23, 2023, to mark the occasion. ON THAT ONE DAY, we will encourage GBU's 70,000 members throughout the United States to unite and donate to increase the GBU Foundation's impact on their communities. You can support two GBU Foundation programs on the GBU Foundation Day of Giving.

The GBU Foundation Scholarships and Grants Program

Sixty years ago, GBU Life founded the GBU Foundation and its scholarship program to encourage and assist GBU members in furthering their education. GBU believes that education is a crucial tool for success in life and that all members deserve the opportunity to advance their education.

Your generosity will encourage GBU scholars to focus on academics, athletics and other formative activities instead of education costs. You will help GBU members nationwide realize their dreams to become doctors, teachers, architects, lawyers, artists and leaders in other professions in their communities.

The GBU Foundation Community Grants Program

In 2024, the GBU Foundation will launch a new initiative to award significant monetary grants to non-profit organizations enriching their communities in each of GBU's four Community Pillars—Wellness, Education, Charitable Giving and Hometown Hero Support.

When you and other members pool your resources for this program, your generosity will provide deserving community organizations, including those important to you, the opportunity to receive grants that may be larger than GBU's matching funds programs.

How Can I Give?

You will be able to give online or by check for the GBU Foundation Day of Giving. Watch for specific instructions in the next issue of The Reporter as well as in mailings, the GBU Member Community, GBU member emails and social media posts.

When you give $60 or more, you will become a member of the GBU Foundation 60th Anniversary Club and be eligible to receive GBU Foundation 60th Anniversary Club gifts as tokens of appreciation for your generosity. You can find out more about the Anniversary Club by visiting reporter.gbu.org/60th-anniversary-club.
