Empower Student Wellbeing and Success

On November 28, 2023, Pioneer supporters will come together to support Pioneers for H.O.P.E (Helping Our Pioneers Excel), our basic needs service, at Cal State Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV.

At the heart of our #CSUEBGivingTuesday campaign is the commitment to student success and wellbeing. We provide a vital safety net, offering emergency housing, food assistance, and clothing to ensure that our students have the essential support required to thrive academically and personally. Your generous contributions today will directly impact the lives of our students, ensuring they have the stability and resources they need to focus on their education and future success. Join us in making a difference and empowering the next generation of leaders by supporting Pioneers for H.O.P.E.

  • Provide nutritious food and essential supplies to students in need.
  • Alleviate the stress and anxiety that food insecurity creates, allowing students to focus on their studies.

Life's challenges often appear unexpectedly.

Students may encounter financial setbacks from unforeseen events such as fires, temporary homelessness, sudden car expenses, injury, or family loss, disrupting their learning endeavors. Our Emergency Assistance Fund provides swift financial support to Cal State Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV students facing sudden financial hardships due to emergencies or crises.

Your contribution will go directly toward maintaining our students’ academic pursuits. Every gift, any amount, makes a difference! Your gift can keep the door of opportunity open for a Cal State Â鶹ÃÛÌÒAV student.
