Faculty-Staff Campaign

2026 Faculty and Staff Giving Campaign

At the heart of our institution is a legacy built by those who teach, lead, support, and inspire every day: our CSUSB Faculty and Staff. Through the 2026 Faculty & Staff Giving Campaign, we invite our own community to come together in support of the mission we all share.

This year’s theme, Sustaining Legacy, Shaping the Future, reflects both where we’ve been and where we’re going. It honors the dedication and impact of those who came before us, while empowering each of us to play a role in what comes next. This year, we’re aiming to reach 350 faculty and staff donors.

When Faculty and Staff give, it sends a powerful message:

• We believe in our mission
• We invest in our students
• We lead by example

Gifts from Faculty and Staff support areas such as:

• Student scholarships and success programs
• Staff Emergency Fund
• Obershaw DEN Food Pantry
• Emergency Supplies & Disaster Preparedness Fund
• Undocumented Student Success Center
• Areas most meaningful to you

Every contribution, no matter the size, helps strengthen our foundation and expand our future. Whether you give, advocate, or simply help spread the word, your involvement matters.

By participating in this campaign, you become part of something bigger, a collective effort to sustain the legacy we cherish while shaping the future we envision.

As a thank you for your support, all donors will be invited to a Donor Appreciation Luncheon featuring an In-N-Out truck at the San Bernardino Campus or Chipotle at the Palm Desert Campus. This is a chance to come together and celebrate the difference we’re making.

All donors will be entered in a weekly giveaway. Winners will be announced every Friday!

Together, we sustain what matters and shape what’s next.

2026 Faculty and Staff Giving Campaign Ambassadors

We're inviting all dedicated CSUSB faculty and staff to serve as campaign ambassadors for our annual Faculty & Staff Campaign.

Serving as an ambassador is an opportunity to make an impact beyond your daily role, to help build momentum, foster unity, and ensure that our collective generosity continues to move our institution forward. As an ambassador, you'll help energize your colleagues, encourage participation, share information about how to give, and highlight areas across campus that benefit from support.

You don’t need to be a fundraising expert simply someone who cares about our mission and is willing to be a visible advocate for it.

Your leadership plays a vital role in strengthening scholarships, academic programs, and student-centered initiatives that make a real difference in the lives of our students. The Office of Annual Giving will provide all volunteers with a FSC campaign handbook, an exclusive ambassador t-shirt, and training session to ensure you feel confident and prepared. 

If you are interested in being an ambassador, please fill out the form below:
