Husky Giving Day
April 23, 2026
Husky Giving Day is your chance to be part of something great! On Thursday, April 23, the Husky community can make one big difference on one big day. In this 24-hour period, Huskies from around the world come together to give to the UW in ways that matter to them.
This Husky Giving Day toolkit provides marketing and communications resources to help you spread the word about Husky Giving Day — because Husky Giving Day is powered by YOU.

HGD visual identity
Components of the Husky Giving Day (HGD) visual identity include the HGD lockup, the Block W logo and the color purple.
- The HGD lockup must be used in conjunction with Block W logo.
- The purple version of the HGD lockup is the recommended version to use.
- The reverse version of the HGD lockup is available only for use on a purple background.
Accessibility guidance
Images of text alone are not fully accessible. Providing both alt text and visible text helps ensure that everyone receives the same information, regardless of how they access the content. This approach aligns with established accessibility requirements and UW guidance.
- This alt text must be applied to the lockup: “Husky Giving Day event visual identity”
- This live text must be applied to the lockup: “Husky Giving Day”
