CSM Giving Tuesday 2023

HELP A HAWK

Stand with Hawks on November 28 for #GivingTuesday! This 24-hour online giving event will benefit the Help a Hawk Fund, which was established to provide aid to students who are experiencing financial hardship due to sudden, unexpected, or unforeseen circumstances that impact a student's ability to remain in school.

Examples of how Help a Hawk funds may be used:

• Hawk Pantry and Hawk Feeder micro-pantries
• Tuition assistance
• Technology and educational supplies

No student should have to choose between affording to live and affording to learn.

Want to donate directly to a particular program, department, or scholarship? Not a problem! You will be able to select other designations when you make your contribution.

President’s Challenge: Give a little. Change a lot. CSM President Dr. Yolanda Wilson is encouraging all CSM employees to join her in supporting our students. She has pledged to donate $1 for every CSM employee who participates in Giving Tuesday.
