Philanthopy Week

Did you know? Donors make a difference!

Each fall, the University of Mount Union celebrates Philanthropy Week on campus. Hosted by The Mount Union Fund, Philanthropy Week celebrates the generosity of Mount Union donors, while building awareness and a culture of philanthropy on campus.

Please join us for a week of virtual-themed days and fun activities to celebrate the impact of our donors – including alumni, parents, employees, students, and friends – and to highlight the importance of “paying it forward” as part of the greater Mount Union community.

Join the conversation and follow along on Mount Union’s social media using #UMUGivesThanks.

Philanthropy Week 2026

Monday, November 16, 2026 | Where in the World is MUcaw?

As we kick off Philanthropy Week 2026, MUCaw wants you to know the direct impact donor support has on your Mount Union experience. There are 10 hidden MUCaws around campus, and the first 10 students to find a MUCaw cutout on campus and bring it to Lexi Klobusnik*, repeating the Philanthropy fact on the back will win a prize.

*Lexi is located in Beeghly Hall, Alumni Suite, 124
