Is there a minimum donation amount?   

Yes, there is a minimum $5 donation.  

I cannot make a large donation, will my contribution be helpful?

Is my gift tax deductible? 

Yes, CSUCI is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.  

Where does my gift go if I don’t stipulate a specific area? 

If a gift is not earmarked then it is considered “unrestricted” or undesignated for a specific use. These types of gifts are especially important because they support the University’s greatest needs. Many of these needs are high-priority, newly emerging, unbudgeted projects for which state funding and other resources are insufficient. Examples include: scholarships, faculty teaching awards, capital projects, targeted academic disciplines and programs. 

Is it possible to make an anonymous donation? 

Yes. You can include a note with your contribution indicating your wish to remain anonymous.
