Day of Giving is Fresno State Athletics’ official crowdfunding event. It provides alumni, fans, friends, and Bulldog Foundation members the opportunity to come together in support of Fresno State student-athletes and the athletic department.
On Day of Giving, donors may choose to support any of our 14 athletic programs, the Nutrition Fund, or the Student-Athlete Scholarship Fund. Whether you are passionate about a specific sport or committed to advancing the academic success of our student-athletes, there are multiple ways to make a meaningful impact.
Your gift directly enhances the overall student-athlete experience at Fresno State. Contributions help fund essential areas such as technology, performance nutrition, team-building opportunities, and sport-specific initiatives. As the cost of delivering championship-level experiences continues to rise, philanthropic support plays a critical role in sustaining competitive excellence and providing our student-athletes with the resources they need to succeed.
Every gift on Day of Giving strengthens Fresno State Athletics and helps build a championship culture for current and future Bulldogs.
