Giving Tuesday

Local students need your help!

December 3, 2024 is
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. This idea has now grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.

On December 3—or any day—you can encourage local youth to pursue their dreams by donating to CollegeReady.

Let’s make GivingTuesday a day where we rally together to support the aspirations of our future leaders. Every donation, whether big or small, plays a vital role in breaking down the barriers to higher education.
Your gift to CollegeReady will provide local students with the tools they need to finish high school and succeed in college.

Why contribute to CollegeReady?

CollegeReady provides financial need-based scholarships and college readiness programming to deserving students right here in Northeast Wisconsin.

We award about $500,000 in scholarships to local college-bound students every year, and through our college readiness program, annually we help about 200 middle and high school students graduate from high school and go to college.

We are a local organization, funded by local friends and donors, helping local students.

Why is your gift so important for local students?

The U.S. Department of Education states that only one in 10 students from the lowest income families earn a bachelor’s degree, compared to 8 in 10 students from higher-income families.

In the Green Bay schools served by our college readiness program, almost two-thirds of the student population falls into the ‘lowest income’ category, which indicates there is a significant need to help local students access higher education.
