CSU Day of Giving 2026

One Day for Every Cougar is Chicago State University’s annual Giving Day, a powerful 24-hour opportunity for alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and supporters to come together and invest in the future of every CSU student.

On March 24, 2026, the CSU community will unite around a shared purpose: strengthening student success, expanding access to opportunity, and advancing the Cougar Commitment, our promise to support, empower, and uplift Cougars at every stage of their academic journey.

Gifts made on Giving Day directly support critical priorities across campus, including scholarships, academic programs, student support services, and experiential learning opportunities that help our students persist, graduate, and thrive. Every contribution no matter the size plays a meaningful role in ensuring that CSU remains a place where ambition is nurtured and potential is realized.

This is more than a fundraising day. It’s a collective statement of belief in our students, our mission, and the transformative power of education.

For one day, we show what’s possible when we come together, One Day for Every Cougar.
