Can my donation be anonymous?
Yes, you can make your gift anonymously by simply selecting the box on the giving form.
What if I am experiencing an error on the donation page?
The address you enter on the giving form must match the billing address and zip code associated with your credit card. Enter credit card numbers without spaces. Delete symbols such as # and & (ex: Apt #31). If your gift form still is not working, call 818-677-7330 or email annualgiving@csun.edu for assistance.
Are employer matching gifts accepted?
Yes, but due to processing restrictions, matching gifts may not be counted in the overall dollar total for Giving Day. Matching gifts from the company or organization you work for double the impact of your gift. See if your employer will match your gift by using the "Double the Donation" field during checkout, or visit engage.csun.edu/matching_gifts.
Is there a minimum donation amount?
CSUN’s Giving Day accepts gifts of $5 or more.
Will my early gift count toward matches or challenges?
No, only gifts made between 8am, March 4 through 8pm, March 5 will count toward challenge totals.
Can I donate via my Donor Advised Fund (DAF) and have my gift count toward Giving Day?
Yes! To have your DAF gift count toward Giving Day, search for and submit your DAF information using the DAFpay field during checkout. If you experience issues using this function, or have other questions regarding giving via DAF, please contact CSUN Donor Relations at donor.relations@csun.edu or 818-677-7330.
