NECC\u2019s Giving Day is a 24-hour fundraising effort that aims to unite alumni, friends, staff, faculty, and students toward a common goal: supporting the college and its students. In addition to encouraging support for the college\u2019s annual fund (<a href=\"https:\/\/necc.edu\/giving\/necc-fund\/\">the NECC Fund<\/a>), Giving Day celebrates healthy camaraderie and competition through a variety of themed challenges, prizes, and more. <a href=\"http:\/\/necc.edu\/newsroom2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/NECC_GivingDay_Graphic-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-28964 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/necc.edu\/newsroom2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/02\/NECC_GivingDay_Graphic-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Donors who contribute $50 or more will be eligible to receive a special prize. And those on campus can stop by tables set up in the Dimitry Building on the Lawrence Campus and the Student Center and Spurk buildings on the Haverhill Campus for giveaways.<\/p>\n<p>All the funds raised will go to the NECC Fund, which provides critical support to the college\u2019s areas of greatest need. Gifts to the NECC Fund are unrestricted, meaning they can be spent immediately and benefit a range of resources and programs that are crucial to the success of students, faculty, and staff. Historically, the NECC Fund has offered substantial support to some of the following areas: student scholarship, innovation, academic programming, career programming, and classroom resources.<\/p>\n<p>Giving Day is an annual event held on the first Thursday in April. The timing is significant: more than 60 years ago, students could first register for classes at the newly formed Northern Essex Community College the first week of April. NECC held its inaugural Giving Day in April of 2022 and, in just under 24 hours, collectively raised over $34,000 from 200+ donors. These totals made the inaugural Giving Day the largest single-day fundraising effort in our annual giving history!<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more by visiting the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/necc.edu\/giving\/necc-giving-day\/\">Giving Day webpage<\/a>.
