Fundraising Events

Fundraising Events

Fundraising events are events conducted for the primary purpose of raising charitable funds where participants make a charitable contribution in addition to a purchase of goods or services (i.e., dinners, concerts, golf tournaments, auctions, and similar events). They may be an effective component of overall fundraising strategy

University Advancement is the main fundraising division for CSUSB and the CSUSB Philanthropic Foundation and must review and approve fundraising events. These events must meet federal and state requirements, adhere to university policies and be consistent with the university’s mission, purpose and priorities.

The department or unit interested in hosting a fundraising event must obtain approval from University Advancement prior to any solicitation of funds, contractual commitments, sponsorships, marketing, spending, or other fundraising activities that represent that the university or the foundation will benefit from the proceeds. The approval form and required items should be submitted to the director of gift and data services 3 – 4 months prior to event date.
