What is ALL IN?
ALL IN for Albertus is a one-day fundraising drive bringing together alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends to show pride and support.
Why is ALL IN different from any other day?
ALL IN mobilizes our community to raise critical funding to support students.
This year, thanks to the significant generosity of Patty Epperly '78 and James Rusche in honor of Dr. John and Mary Rusche, up to $100,000 in challenge funds will be unlocked starting March 1 - March 24 as giving milestones are reached (see Challenges tab for more info). EVERY GIFT helps release more funds to support Albertus students.
There will also be leaderboard tracking, prizes, and campus engagement activities.
What are the goals of ALL IN?
- Support every student through gifts to The Fund for Albertus
- Support Athletics through team designations
- Celebrate the Albertus experience
- Encourage first-time giving
- Strengthen community connection
If I already gave this year, does it count as an ALL IN gift?
Only gifts specifically designated for ALL IN count toward the event total. If you’ve already made a gift this year, we invite you to consider an additional gift to help reach the goal.
How can my gift be counted toward ALL IN?
All gifts made from March 1 through March 24 (11:59pm EST) count toward ALL IN 2026.
Can I make a gift of any amount?
No gift is too small. Whether you give $1 or $1,000, participation is what matters most. Every gift makes a difference.
Where will my gift go?
Funds go to The Fund for Albertus unless designated to Athletics. The Fund supports:
- Student Financial Aid
- Career Readiness
- Student Life Activities
- Leadership & Service Opportunities
- Faculty Development
- Technology Upgrades
Your gift makes an immediate difference for current students and future Falcons.
Can I make a gift with stocks or securities?
Yes. Please contact the Office of Advancement at giving@albertus.edu for instructions.
Can I give through a donor-advised fund?
Yes. Contact giving@albertus.edu and include “ALL IN for Albertus Giving Day” with your designation.
Will my employer match my gift?
Check with your employer’s HR department or matching gift administrator to see if your gift qualifies.
Will my gift be tax-deductible?
Yes. A tax receipt will be provided after your gift is processed.

CHALLENGE RULES
Falcon Cup - The winning team of the Falcon Cup Challenge will receive $1000, a team breakfast, and a travelling trophy will be determined using a percentage-based goal to keep the competition fair for smaller teams.
Each team will have a goal based on their size. Then they will be ranked by the percentage of goal achieved.
Example
- Small team goal: $2,000 → raises $2,400 = 120%
- Large team goal: $6,000 → raises $6,300 = 105%
Winner: small team 🏆
Falcons Flock Together - The winning team of the Falcons Flock Together Challenge will receive $500. Participation will be measured by the number of student-athletes on a team who give and/or secure donations.
Each team’s participation rate will be calculated as:
number of student-athletes who give plus the number of student-athletes who secure donations (can be counted twice if athletes give and get donations) ÷ total eligible roster × 100. Incomplete or anonymous gifts that cannot be verified may not count.
The team with the highest percentage will win.
Coaches Falcon Faceoff - All coaches will be eligible for this challenge, and their reward will be ample bragging rights and a social media spotlight and possibly a surprise from the Office of Advancement. To win this challenge, simply give or get the most money amongst your peers.
