Annual Giving

Giving to the Fresno State Annual Fund is the quickest and most direct way to embrace supporting Fresno State students and their education. Simply put, you decide how your gift will be used. You choose the school, program or area that you believe would be best served by your donation. If you like, your gift can support the overall university’s most pressing need.

All amounts are appreciated and welcomed by Fresno State because your gift expresses pride and commitment to the university's vision for excellence.

Gifts in Memory or Celebration

Gifts to Fresno State to remember a friend or loved one or to celebrate a special event or kind deed is a living and lasting tribute that touches our university, our students and faculty and our region.

You can specify exactly where you would like your gift used or leave it to the university to meet a current need.  We will provide recognition of your gift to the person or family of those being remembered.

Endowed Funds

Another route for giving is through endowed funds.  Establishing an endowed fund to serve Fresno State is a solid investment for the future. This long-term gift provides income for the school or programs of your choice. Or, you can keep your endowment "unrestricted," which gives Fresno State the flexibility to respond to challenges and opportunities as circumstances change over time.
