The fourth annual Ivy Tech Day is April 21, 2026. In the last three years, Ivy Tech Community College supporters from around the state have donated more than $1 million to support students in their academic journey. Starting at midnight on April 21, 2026, anyone can give for 24 hours at ivytech.edu/giveday – an opportunity for alumni and friends to set up matching gifts, become social ambassadors, and also visit local community partners that day, a news release from the Ivy Tech Valparaiso campus said.
In 2025, Ivy Tech says donors committed 2,800 gifts that led to more than $483,000 being raised, bringing the three-year total to more than $1 million, money that supports more than 200,000 Ivy Tech students through new scholarships, innovative programs, and unique educational opportunities. More than 4 of 5 Ivy Tech graduates stay in Indiana to pursue their careers, and 87 percent carry no student debt when they leave, a news release said.
“Indiana communities rely on Ivy Tech to produce a workforce that will support their community workforce needs for decades to come,” said Marty Pollio, president, Ivy Tech Community College. “We are excited to join hands with our friends and supporters to grow what we’ve started.”
“Ivy Tech Day is a big moment each year for everyone associated with our college. People across the state come together to support our students, celebrate our alumni, and enhance the impact we have in Indiana,” said Stephannie Bailey, president, Ivy Tech Foundation. “Ivy Tech Day is a moment where we can celebrate our successes and nurture the opportunities ahead. We look forward to alumni and friends joining us on this special day.”
