The 'Runners on the Rise campaign for CSUB is a comprehensive campaign and provides
financial support for our students, faculty, and programs. This is an historic endeavor
for CSUB and will be launched publicly at the conclusion of our 50th anniversary celebration.
The campaign priorities focus on our students by supporting future leaders, fostering
academic excellence, and building our community.
The university is at a key point in its history, having recently completed a strategic
plan that will guide us for the next 10 years, as well as celebrating its 50th birthday
in 2020-21. These milestones galvanized us to take bold steps toward ensuring CSUB
will sustain its vision for our students during the next 50 years. More than ever
before, philanthropy is essential to supporting the core elements that define CSUB.
The responses from feasibility study clearly showed the importance of CSUB’s role
in the community and the importance the community places on CSUB as the purveyor of
hope for students throughout our region. The campaign priorities focus on students
by providing the infrastructure, programs, and services needed to build future leaders,
foster academic excellence, and build our community.
Although our southern San Joaquin Valley region abounds in beauty, it also faces immense
challenges, including extreme poverty and the lowest educational attainment in the
nation. That is why CSUB is working collaboratively with supporters to address the
systemic issues facing our community, while focusing on what is centrally important
— students. Over 70% of CSUB students require financial assistance to pursue their
education. These students are brilliant and increasingly diverse, and the majority
stay in our Valley after graduation, solving our region’s most complex challenges.
Your support is critical as we empower our next generation of leaders.
Making a gift online is the fastest way to support the campaign. Other options include
a check or cash, securities, or planned gifts. Please visit give.csub.edu to give online or contact University Advancement at (661) 654-3994 to have a conversation

By supporting the students at CSUB, you are helping to educate the future leaders
of our community and the globe. We would like to celebrate your support, so for information

Thank you for your interest in establishing a legacy gift in support of CSUB. The
current minimum gift for an endowment is $25,000. The principal balance of an endowment
fund is not spent and can potentially grow over time. A percentage of the earnings
goes to provide annual support to CSUB in perpetuity. Gifts to an endowment may be
funded over a period of years to achieve the minimum level required. Please contact
Heath Niemeyer at HNiemeyer@csub.edu or (661) 654-3579 about creating an endowment.
The naming of a school, facility, or program is a transformational commitment to CSUB
and our students. The amount needed to name or endow for a particular purpose (school,
facility, program), is a calculation based on the current costs. Again, a naming gift
may be funded over a period of years to achieve the minimum level required. Please
contact Heath Niemeyer at HNiemeyer@csub.edu or (661) 654-3579 for a complete list of naming opportunities.
Giving is a strong way to show your support for the students of CSUB. The University
Advancement team stands ready to assist if you have any questions as you make the
personal decision to support the comprehensive campaign. For more information about
giving to CSUB, please contact University Advancement at (661) 654-3994.
