Last Day! Give to the Black House. Small amounts matter! https://dayofgiving.stanford.edu/pages/community-centers?referral_id=68102ee8391121ea583b0ee6

This Stanford Day of Giving, your gifts are matched dollar for dollar through a matching fund provided by a group of university trustees. This includes a generous gift from José E. Feliciano, MBA ’99, and his partner in business and life, Kwanza Jones.

“Giving back is empowering—it’s a catalyst that boosts Stanford's community. There are a tremendous number of people, programs, and initiatives at Stanford that are deeply deserving of your support. That’s why we joined with other Board of Trustees members to create a matching fund for Stanford Day of Giving. Together, we’re expanding opportunities and building what’s next."

“Through this match, your contribution of any amount will make an impact wherever you choose to give—whether it’s student financial aid, scientific research, medical breakthroughs, community centers, music and the arts, athletics, or another area you care about.” 🔬🎨📚

🌟Thank you, Kwanza and José, for your unwavering commitment to Stanford’s people, research, and mission. From imagining a better future to building one together, your support is more critical now than ever. 🌟
