Berklee Giving Day 2026

Now in its eighth year, Berklee Giving Day is a 24-hour celebration of the creativity, collaboration, and community that make Berklee extraordinary. On this day, students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends from around the world come together to support the work that happens across our classrooms, studios, stages, and beyond.

Join us across campus for a full day of celebration, gratitude, and community on March 4. From student-led initiatives to department spotlights, there are plenty of ways to get involved, show your support, and connect with colleagues and classmates.
