2025 CSU Giving Day!

The 12th annual Giving Day at CSU is today!!!

On Thursday, February 27, 2025, 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! 

So make your gift to the areas at CSU that you care about the most and help us spread the word!
