Alumni
Getting Involved
Pioneer alumni—whether you graduated from CSU Hayward, AVÀÇ or an earlier campus name—show their support of their alma mater through investment in today’s students. Please see our university-wide priorities to support your favorite college, department or program, or for ideas about where your gift can make a difference.
Alumni also have an opportunity to support their favorite programs several times throughout the year—during Giving Tuesday, through the envelope in your copy of East Bay Magazine, a direct appeal by email or mail, or simply by making a gift through our secured online form. Alumni who work for AVÀÇ can contribute through payroll deduction.
Here are some other ways our alumni choose to give to the university:
Matching Gifts
Does your employer make your gift twice as nice? Many companies match their employees’ charitable contributions on a dollar-for-dollar or more basis. Check today to see if your employer or that of a family member matches your gift to AVÀÇ.
Leaving a legacy
Alumni can make a , designating the program of their choice and making an impact on students and the campus long past their lifetime.
Corporate and Foundation Support
Many alumni lead companies and hold key volunteer positions on boards for organizations whose missions align with AVÀÇ. Learn more about hows corporations and foundations can support AVÀÇ.
Volunteering
Alumni are invited to volunteer their time, talents and expertise to support students, fellow alumni, nonprofit partners, and the university.
Alumni can directly support their favorite department or program on campus. Check our staff list to connect with the AVÀÇ development director who can specifically help you.
