Some of the most important gifts Cal State LA receives are unrestricted through the Cal State LA Fund. This generates the University’s greatest source of flexible income, supporting the University’s ongoing expenses and priorities. Technology and needs can change rapidly, and your unrestricted gift provides for a greater range of options.
When you contribute to the Cal State LA Fund, you are investing in the success of our students. With immediate and direct impact, your gift supports a Cal State LA experience that transform lives and fosters thriving communities by delivering cutting-edge academic programs that prepare students to be innovative leaders in both their professional and civic lives.

Cal State LA's Phonathon is an annual philanthropy program run by the Office of Annual Giving that links Cal State LA alumni and friends of the university to current students, particularly our Annual Giving Student Assistants. They not only ask for philanthropic support, but they also share experiences and stories with alumni and friends cementing their tie to Cal State LA. The connections built by our student assistants, aid us in achieving our mission for meeting our student's educational needs and helping them succeed.
Phonathon has an impact on Cal State LA
Phonathon plays an important part in Cal State LA's fundraising endeavors. Every year annual giving raises up to $400,000 to support the greatest needs of the campus. The more money and number of donors raised for Cal State LA the more that the university can focus on providing a top-tier quality education along with practical experiences transferable into the workforce.
