Matadors Give for a Brighter Tomorrow
36 Hours of Matador-Powered Giving

Our first-ever Giving Day at CSUN is here! Join our students, families, alumni, faculty, staff and friends for 36 hours of Matador-powered giving for a brighter tomorrow.

On Giving Day, Matadors and friends across the country and around the world are invited to give back to the CSUN colleges, programs and causes they love. And to inspire your generosity throughout the 36-hour event, check out our special matching opportunities and challenge grants so you can magnify the impact of your Giving Day gifts. 

During Giving Day, your gifts of any size will help provide scholarships so every student can achieve their dreams. They will help ensure our classrooms, labs, galleries, stages and athletic fields are state of the art. And they will help us provide the transformative power of a CSUN education to our largely first-generation students. 

Join us as we celebrate our love for CSUN and give for a brighter tomorrow.



From a grateful university, thank you.
Mar 02, 2023

Your generosity exceeded our expectations. Not only did you provide critical funding to meet CSUN’s greatest needs, but you supported life-changing programs and projects across campus.


Together, you proved the collaborative power of what can be achieved when Matadors and friends join forces to support CSUN. We are grateful for your contributions always, but for Giving Day, you went above and beyond, allowing us to continue providing transformative higher education to our largely first generation students. 

 

We are humbled by your generosity, but mostly by the love you showed for CSUN on Giving Day. Thank you for helping us build a brighter future.
