Day of Giving - Fresno State Athletics

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.
