2026 CSU Giving Day!
The 13th annual Giving Day at CSU is today!!!
Today, February 26, 2026, CSU alumni, friends, students, faculty and staff will come together for a virtual celebration of Cleveland State's campus community. Join us as we support the programs, colleges, groundbreaking research, and Division I athletics teams that make up CSU's urban footprint.
All gifts, of any size, make a difference in the lives of CSU students! Also, since over 85% of CSU graduates remain in the area, a gift to CSU is ultimately an investment in Cleveland!
This year, we are able to accept Donor-Advised Funds directly through our giving forms via DAFpay. Just look for the DAFpay button at checkout! It’s fast, secure, and ensures your gift goes to work immediately.
So, make your gift to the areas at CSU that you care about the most and help us spread the word!
