Development
The Development team works to align donors’ passions with opportunities for support at the university. Investing in student programs, academic excellence, research or infrastructure all play a key role in advancing student success. Gifts of all sizes make a difference in empowering our next generation of leaders!
Areas of Focus:
- Leading the university’s first-ever comprehensive fundraising campaign
- Philanthropic fundraising for campus units
- Annual giving and digital fundraising campaigns
- Planned giving
- Corporate and foundations relations
How You Can Give
At CSUB, we are always uplifting students to reach new heights of success. We pride ourselves on encouraging them to think big and dream even bigger, and along the way, we work with leaders like you to advance local industries — from health care, to engineering to education, and every field in between. Consider giving now — because it takes a community coming together to reach new heights.
