Raise money for your Student Organization during For the Greater Good!

For the Greater Good is a 24-hour online event to raise money for scholarships, colleges, various programs, clinical partners, and student organizations. The day starts at noon March 26 and lasts until noon on March 27. 

For the Greater Good offers UNMC students a unique chance to raise funds that will go directly back to your student organization. We encourage you to utilize social media, as well as reach out to alumni, students, parents, friends, professors or anyone else you can recruit to support your group’s efforts.

Student organizations who sign up to fundraise can earn funds for their organization. This year, we have more than $4,000 in bonus awards. Prizes will be awarded for most donors, most dollars raised, and for donor participation in the day. All student groups who register can compete for bonus funds for their organization:

  • $1,000 for the student organization with the most donors.
  • $500 for the student organization with the most dollars raised.
  • $100 awarded to each student organizations that had donations from 10 unique donors.
