CSUSB is fortunate to have an endowment that is critical to our transformational investment. Philanthropic gifts for endowments are critical to ensure a permanent source of support for CSUSB's extraordinary students pursuing their educational dreams and striving to achieve their goals for a better future. CSUSB must utilize only a portion of the endowment's value each year rather than spending it down over time. So, while the endowment does a lot of the heavy lifting, the philanthropic support of alumni, employees, and friends continues to play a significant role in maintaining CSUSB's excellence.
It may be surprising, but tuition covers less than half of the actual cost of a CSUSB education. CSUSB's endowment and gifts to the university help cover much of the remaining cost. You might think of donations as silent scholarships provided by generations of Coyote alumni, parents and friends, and even those who pay full tuition have benefited.
Yes, any gift made by faculty and staff via payroll deductions counts towards the campaign totals. However, we encourage additional donations, as every year, the cause/project will change; therefore, ensuring your participation during the campaign period guarantees your support for that particular initiative.
