Give to Former Foster Students

Types Of Gifts - How Can You Help

Your gift today helps create a legacy for educational access for future generations of Foster Youth students at California State University, Long Beach.

The following suggestions are methods you can use to help make this happen:

Gifts of Cash

Gifts of cash are of vital importance because they can be immediately applied to the Endowment Campaign. Pledged cash gifts may be made on a schedule and in amounts convenient to the donor.

Donate online or make a gift by check payable to the "CSULB Foundation."

Mail the check to:
California State University, Long Beach Foundation
6300 State University Drive, Suite #160
Long Beach, CA 90815
ATTN: Student Services Development
C/O: Guardian Scholars Program.

Real or Personal Property and Securities

These gifts offer substantial advantages to the donor. The sale of these items by our Program offers the same flexibility as with cash gifts.

Gifts-In-Kind

Gifts-in-kind contributions includes gift cards and other tangible items that can be used by Guardian Scholars Program.

Planned Gifts

The most common form of a planned gift is a bequest. For example, our Guardian Scholars Program can be named as a beneficiary in a will. All charitable bequests are tax deductible in full.

Matching Gifts / Corporate Giving

Many corporations have programs where an employee's charitable contributions are matched by the company. A company may match an employee's contribution as much as three-to-one, in some cases.

If your employer has a matching gift program, please follow the below process:
- Obtain your matching-gift form, which is usually from your Human Resources office
- Fill out the form and send with your check contribution to:

California State University, Long Beach Foundation
6300 State University Drive, Suite #160
Long Beach, CA 90815
ATTN: Student Services Development
C/O: Guardian Scholars Program.
