Give to Engagement
and Extension

Join us in delivering CSU’s land grant mission: that anyone, anywhere can access the world-class educational programs, services, and resources generated by one of the nation’s top public research universities. We are so grateful to you, our donors, who ensure that CSU’s work is informed by and responsive to the needs of Coloradans. 

With you, we create lasting impact

Whether opening degree pathways for non-traditional students through online coursework, partnering with farmers and ranchers on 21st century agriculture solutions, or sparking curiosity in learners across identities, your gift helps us empower individuals and communities to thrive.
