Ways To Support

As a member of the faculty or staff at Cal State East Bay, you invest your time and talent in our students every day. And few understand better than those in our Pioneer family how our students need extra support to help reach their dreams.Please see our university-wide priorities to support your favorite college, department or program, or for ideas about where your gift can make a difference.

You can also support your favorite programs several times throughout the year—during Giving Tuesday, through the envelope in your copy of East Bay Magazine, a direct appeal by email or mail, or simply by making a through our secured online form. 

Faculty and staff contribute in other meaningful ways, including: 

Gowns for Grads

In 2019, the university launched a new Faculty/Staff Giving Campaign, Gowns for Grads. Our $5,000 annual goal will provide a cap, gown and tassel to over 100 students. Not every student who wants to participate in the graduation ceremony has the ability to pay for regalia, and for just a little over $4 a month (for one year), you can make their memorable graduation day even more special. 

Payroll Deduction

Easily support students or your favorite programs across campus with a monthly contribution from your paycheck

Leaving a Legacy

Faculty and staff can make a , designating the program of their choice and making an impact on students and the campus long past their lifetime.
