Day Of Giving 2025

Day of Giving is an online day of giving and connecting. Alumni and friends everywhere are coming together to support what we’re most proud of at Fresno State. As part of this day, all alumni, students, faculty, staff, fans and friends of the university are encouraged to support and celebrate the Fresno State programs and projects they believe in.

Today only, fellow philanthropic partners have put forward matching and challenge gifts to help increase the impact of gifts. So no matter the size of your gift, you will make an even greater difference.

Matching gifts are funded by philanthropic partners and create opportunities to leverage your support for the area that you believe in. These may include goals for a certain number of people to donate within a certain period of time or to donate a certain amount, which will unlock additional funding for the area.

Go to dayofgving.fresnostate.edu to easily support all colleges, schools, units, sports, and many life-changing programs and initiatives as well.
