Trine Day
Giving more since 1884
In just 1,884 minutes, the Trine community came together to celebrate 141 years of excellence in 2025. This year, we're excited to continue supporting the next generation of students, leaders and innovators during Trine Day 2026!
Join us April 24-25 for Trine Day 2026!
Over the past five years, you helped us raise almost $500,000 on Trine Day and this year we hope to break the records by securing 1,000 gifts and $175,000.
We're thrilled to announce a donor match for 2026! Dan '63 and Judy Dobson have graciously offered to match each gift of $18.84 or more, with a gift of $18.84 of their own, to the fund of your choice. This means that your gift has even more impact!
- Founded in 1884 as Tri-State Normal College, Trine University has been a leader in education for over 140 years.
