About the Big Give
The Big Give is a 36-hour online campaign encouraging and welcoming gifts of all kinds in support of USD School of Law. We CAMPAIGN for students, Veterans, academic programs, meaningful employment opportunities, advancements in technology, and education to serve the changing needs of the legal profession.

Big Give support comes in all shapes and sizes; it is the collective spirit of generosity that leads to overall success. We are asking you to make a gift today and to also encourage your friends, classmates and fellow USD alumni to join you in this cause. All gifts made between 9 a.m. PST on Wednesday April 10 and 9:59 p.m. PST on Thursday, April 11, 2024, will contribute to the  success of --not only the BIG GIVE Campaign but also the resounding success of USD School of Law--this year!
