The Importance of Alumni Giving
Alumni giving is critical to the success, prominence and sustainability of Colorado State University.
There are so many reasons why alumni giving is important. Alumni gifts make the CSU experience possible for students through scholarships, programs, enhanced facilities, and more. Alumni give for many reasons, including:
To Say "Thanks"
A donation provides a means of expressing gratitude for a life-changing experience that you experienced at CSU.
To Support Students
There are approximately 27,500 reasons to support Colorado State University. Those reasons spend their days engaged in lively discussions with professors and classmates, competing on athletic fields, and working in the community.
To Help CSU Maintain its Standard of Excellence
Financial support is central to CSU's efforts to recruit and retain the best faculty, and staff members. In addition, the University must keep its curriculum, technology, facilities, and equipment up to date if it is to provide the highest quality of education.
To Provide Your Vote of Confidence
No matter the size, every gift makes a difference and counts as a positive vote for the future of CSU and its students. For the alumni community, a gift is the only measure by which the University can gauge customer satisfaction and approval, and the overall alumni giving percentage is used by organizations like U.S. News & World Report to formulate college rankings.
