The UVA GivingToHoosDay website was designed and built entirely in-house to serve as the heart of the annual online giving day. Through real-time data updates and interactive features, this site engaged more than 7,000 alumni, parents, and friends in a record-breaking $3 million, 24-hour event. This online experience calls upon alumni, students, parents, faculty, and friends worldwide to join others and support their favorite university area.
From the Judges' Report
University of Virginia’s Giving Day sub-website, GivingToHoosDay, is very innovative in showing how different schools within UVA are progressing throughout the day for Giving Day and how close the school is to unlocking a matching gift. They showed numbers from hourly contests as well as a global map indicating each place a donor supported the campaign. All of this work was completed in-house without outside vendors.
