Sun Devil Gratitude Week

Each year, the ASU Foundation launches Sun Devil Gratitude Week, a passionate tribute to the people who fuel ASU. It's more than just appreciation—it's a full-force celebration of the supporters, students, faculty and staff who make this university excellent and impactful! Starting as a single-day event on National Philanthropy Day seven years ago, SDGW has grown to a week-long celebration that focuses on instilling a culture of gratitude that can be carried throughout ASU all year long. 

While the main objective of SDGW is to thank donors for their support of ASU, this year we aim to make a lasting impression on our students: the future of philanthropy. By putting an extra emphasis on showing gratitude to them and encouraging them to show gratitude to others, we will be able to jumpstart our global efforts.

The generosity of our donors has transformed Arizona State University, empowered students and strengthened academic programs. ASU is committed to amplifying the role of philanthropy in creating lasting change and demonstrating that donors are the catalysts for these remarkable achievements.

Philanthropy is a driving force behind ASU’s success. The contributions of donors are not just financial transactions but investments that create opportunities for students and strengthen the academic experience. Donors are the architects of positive change, and their generosity is felt across every part of the university.
