Donors give more than $140K to Trine for Giving Tuesday
ANGOLA, Ind. (12/08/2025) — Alumni, employees and friends of Trine University contributed more than $140,000 to Trine University scholarships, renovations and other areas during Giving Tuesday on Dec. 2.
The university raised a total of $142,271, exceeding its goal of $125,000. Trine received 178 gifts from 157 individual donors.
"Contributing almost 20% more than our goal is a huge testament to the incredible generosity of those who support Trine University," said Ellen Paxton, assistant vice president for advancement. "We're grateful to each one who chose to partner with us to help make sure students can afford to receive a quality educational experience at Trine."
Giving Tuesday, held the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, has been celebrated since 2012. Intended to counter more commercial post-Thanksgiving events such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday seeks to celebrate and encourage charitable giving internationally at the beginning of the holiday season.
