Sac State Fund

Our comprehensive outreach has one single focus: our students come first.

At Sacramento State, students choose their own path and these experiences help them define their place in an ever-changing world. Your generosity helps remove the barriers to what might be seem impossible. When you give to your passion — whether it's assisting students facing hardships, supporting an area of study or research, or advancing academic programs — you are enhancing the Sac State student experience. By working together, we all rise.

Contact University Advancement if you have questions about an area that aligns with your philanthropic passions, or would like to discover additional ways to get involved.

Campaign Priorities

The President’s Circle

We invite you to be a part of this influential group of donors who are having a powerful impact on the lives of our students through the President’s Circle. With an unrestricted annual gift of $1,500 or more, you will join the President's Circle and the growing number of alumni, faculty, staff, friends, and business and community leaders, who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of our students. Your dedication and generosity will provide President Robert S. Nelsen with the opportunity to fund programs such as the ASI Food Pantry, the Student Emergency Grant Program, as well as address emerging needs, and unexpected situations in times of crisis. Your contribution to the President's Circle will have an immediate and direct impact.

Join the President's Circle and help support and grow our next generation of leaders. Contact the President’s Circle for more information on how to join this transformative group.

Dean’s Circle

Gifts to the Dean’s Circle allow deans and department chairs to respond to emerging needs and expand vital programming within their college or department. Donors within the Dean's Circle help fund scholarships, research opportunities, guest lectures, visiting professors, support services, advanced technology, and more. With your gift of $500 or more to a college, department, or University Library, you are providing innovative possibilities for our students and our future.
