Foundation, Foundation Properties serve university, community

Essential to the support of CSU are four cooperative organizations: CSU Foundation, CSU Foundation Properties, Inc., CSU Alumni Association, Inc., and The Athletic Fund, Inc. Although legally separate and managed by their own boards, these organizations operate exclusively to provide the university with supplemental resources and support. More information on the alumni board is available on the alumni Web site.


The CSU Foundation serves as the primary link between the university and the community it serves. Organized in 1963, the foundation provides a vehicle for securing funds for scholarships, special needs and enrichment programs. The foundation has authority to solicit and accept contributions on behalf of the university from individuals, businesses and other organizations.

The legally separate Foundation Properties, Inc., was established to oversee the use of private funds in the development of several university buildings, most recently at the CSU RiverPark campus.
