I cannot make a large donation, will my contribution be helpful? A gift, no matter what size, can have a tremendous impact. For example, 500 gifts of $10 can provide scholarships for five deserving students. 

I'm not a graduating senior. Can I still donate? Yes! We welcome anyone in our CSUCI community to make a contribution to any cause you are passionate about. When you donate, you can select your affiliation that indicates your relationship to CSUCI.

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.
