Campaign Makes Transformational Impact
The Campaign for Colorado State University has transformed the campus – and future – of CSU.
Through the campaign, CSU raised $537.3 million, changed the face of our campus, raised the bar of student and faculty achievement, and provided richer opportunities for research, outreach, and access to world-class education.
By bucking national fundraising trends for the past three years – and in spite of ongoing state budget cuts – CSU has created a successful new model for public institutions.
The campaign has catapulted CSU forward and has instilled a sense of pride that has changed how we look at ourselves as a University, and what we're capable of. Our success in this campaign is an indication of what's possible; a signal that we can reach audacious, seemingly unattainable goals if we have the commitment, the vision, and the resolve to pursue them to a successful end.
Our goal, which we met six months ahead of schedule during the worst economic climate in recent history, was $500 million. Thanks to 94,200 donors, we surpassed our goal by nearly $40 million.
Together, we can do anything!
