Colorado State University Foundation

Established in 1970, the Colorado State University Foundation (CSUF) is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting Colorado State University. Its mission is to advance the university's objectives by securing and managing private contributions from alumni and friends. The Foundation plays a crucial role in providing a margin of excellence that state funding cannot, managing the university's endowment, and ensuring philanthropic gifts are used according to donor intent to support students, faculty, research, and programs.
