Give to Fresno State

Annual Giving

Gifts of every size position Fresno State for excellence. Supporting Fresno State through annual gifts means not only helping students, but also supporting initiatives that strengthen the community, locally and beyond. Your generosity significantly improves the odds that our students will successfully follow their dreams and seize opportunities granted by a higher education.

Annual gifts to the President's Circle for Excellence help students achieve their full potential by providing support for special programs that will have a powerful impact on improving student success. Gifts to the Fresno State Annual Fund enable President Jiménez-Sandoval to invest in present and future students through general scholarship awards. Annual gifts supporting specific colleges, programs, or scholarships demonstrate the Bulldog pride we all share as alumni, parents, and friends.

Thank you for supporting annual giving. Because of you, valuable programs and initiatives remain strong.
