This week’s Giving Tuesday was a success, yielding $301,820 in gifts to Cal State Long Beach from 225 dedicated donors. The Beach's total exceeded that of last year by more than $120,000.

While donors supported programs across campus, there was particular focus this year on expanding undergraduate scholarships to ensure that all students are empowered to graduate without being financially burdened.

“Giving Tuesday was a great success because we have a community that cares deeply about our students, the programs that serve them, and the support for their learning and growth,” said Dan Montoya, vice president of University Relations & Development. “We are grateful to every donor who made a gift and inspired others to give. We are stronger together, and we are a philanthropic force for good! Thank you to our amazing Beach community.”

All gifts, no matter the size, make a difference at The Beach. The comprehensive No Barriers campaign seeks to create a national model for student achievement, empowerment and equity; shape the future workforce of California; and elevate our community and advance the public good.

The Beach empowers students to build lives of purpose on the path of their choosing.

Those who enroll here should be free to devote singular focus on their education. They should be uplifted and affirmed, with a sense of well-being and a sense of belonging. We have a responsibility to ensure that all who come here are supported from Day One through graduation, regardless of their background.

With your partnership, we can build and disseminate a comprehensive, replicable model for eliminating fundamental threats to student progress as we enhance support services and strengthen cocurricular programs.
