Help make USC Day of SCupport a success by volunteering to fundraise! Alumni and other members of the Trojan Family are invited to submit ideas for crowdfunding and to solicit donations from family and friends for the USC programs they are most passionate about using USC’s online crowdfunding page. Areas to support can include research, scholarships, schools or academic priorities, and other areas that benefit USC programs. If accepted, the University Advancement Annual Giving Office will set up a USC crowdfunding page for the volunteer to share with family and friends and support the collection and distribution of funds to the university. All projects are to be conducted in accordance with applicable USC policies and donations are tax-deductible in accordance with State and Federal law.
