Why Giving Matters

Thanks to gifts and support from alumni and friends like you, The Beach is able to ______________

 

Your support plays a key role in the success of our campus and in strengthening the value of a Beach degree. Gifts from alumni, parents, students, and organizations help our students remain as debt-free as possible while pursuing their dreams and taking their excellence out into the world. 

 

Private philanthropy has helped make Cal State Long Beach a university of choice.

by keeping students debt-free through scholarships and other financial aid, by providing outstanding academic experiences, and by enabling CSULB to serve as a cultural and creative hub for the entire community. 

- something about lack of state funding, need for private gifts & support?

Gifts to CSULB not only create positive change on our campus and in the lives of our students, but they also can provide the donors with an effective and rewarding way to achieve their own philanthropic and financial goals. You don’t have to take our word for it. Peruse the site to see what our donors say and to learn a little more about what these kinds of gifts mean to the recipients.  As you will see, it really is possible to give and receive at the same time.
