Day of Giving 2026

Fresno State's 9th Annual Day of Giving is Almost Here!

On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, we invite our incredible alumni, friends, and supporters to show their love for Fresno State, student success, and campus initiatives for the 9th annual Fresno State Day of Giving.

This 24-hour event is our biggest day of generosity, celebrating the areas of Fresno State that mean the most to YOU. Every gift—big or small—helps fuel the future of Fresno State and keeps the Bulldog spirit strong.

Get a head start by signing up to be a DOG Ambassador where you take the microphone and encourage your friends and family to make their own gift, all to earn some exclusive Fresno State swag as a token of gratitude.

If you're a Fresno State student, check out the rules for the first-ever Victor E. Bulldog Plushie Scavenger Hunt here. Prep your strategy and get ready to make an impact on the area most meaningful to you!


Together, we will amplify the impact of Fresno State throughout our Valley. See you March 18!
