Giving Day
FIT Giving Day is our annual celebration of school spirit and philanthropy.
Giving Day is a 24-hour celebration of the schools, centers, departments, communities, and more that make us FIT. On November 20th, the FIT community and friends will unite to champion the artistic innovation, entrepreneurial spirit, and unconventional excellence of FIT.
Your donation directly impacts students' educational journeys, allowing them to focus on their studies and creative pursuits without financial stress. No matter the size, every gift contributes to a collective impact that makes a difference in FIT students' lives.
