Ignite 2025

Ignite is a student-run crowdfunding competition where student groups raise money for UConn-related programs and activities they are most passionate about. Over the course of a three-week campaign, student groups fundraise and participate in challenges to earn a portion of Ignite prize money.

Your support not only amplifies their effort Ignite but also advances a critical mission in our biggest Campaign in history, Because of UConn. The Campaign and Ignite both directly support putting students first. Groups participating in Ignite use donated funds in a variety of ways to grow and continue transformative educational experiences, including:

🎓Academic and professional development

📅Event programming and cultural activities

🧰Equipment, supplies, and operations

✈️Travel and competition costs

🤝Community outreach and service

Your support Matters. No matter the size of your contribution, your generosity will continue to shape student experiences at UConn.

The world moves forward because of UConn, and all we do is possible because of YOU.
