There is a strong case to be made for giving to the California State University. The outcomes of our efforts stretch broadly beyond the individual benefit to students. Helping students fulfill their aspirations to become artists, engineers, teachers and health care professionals improves the quality of life for all of us.

The California State University is fortunate to have the support of many donors and government partners that share in the vision of creating a better world. These supporters help us reach out to a richly diverse student population and provide a valuable learning experience.

In 2004-2005, nearly $1.3 billion in external support enhanced critical core support received from the state of California.
