Dedicated to serving the now-and-forever needs of CSU.

csuf-incorporated-in-1970

The Colorado State University Foundation was incorporated in 1970 to:

  • Assist the promotion, development and enhancement of the facilities and educational programs and opportunities of the faculty, students and alumni of Colorado State University

  • Receive, manage and invest contributions, gifts and bequests and apply the principal income generated therefrom exclusively for charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes that will directly or indirectly aid and benefit Colorado State University

Today, our mission is simpler:

The CSU Foundation, a leader in higher education philanthropy and a trusted partner to CSU and its donors, exists to maximize, in perpetuity, the return on individual and organizational donors’ investments, so that CSU can propel students, researchers, communities and beyond. We strive to be the best in the world at making the most of donors’ intentions to benefit CSU and its students, now and forever.

We believe.

We believe in empowering donors to bring their visions to life, and students to realize their hopes and dreams. We do so with integrity, excellence, service and accountability.

We believe in the power of endowment, and that endowed gifts can make an enormous difference for CSU students, faculty members, educational programs, research, and the future of the University itself.

We Know.

We know that your generosity can change the world.
