What is Cardinal 100?

We're looking for 100 visionary alumni to launch the Cardinal 100 Fund — and we want you to be one of them!

With just $100 (or $8.33 monthly), you'll join an exclusive group of alumni who don't just donate — they decide. You'll vote on the most promising student projects, directly shaping SVSU's future, with the winning proposal receiving your $10,000 to complete the project. It puts real power in students' hands by voting on and funding the most promising, innovative, and sustainable student-led projects that will shape SVSU's future.

Potential Example Projects

This is the inaugural year for the Cardinal 100 Fund, so we do not have any past projects to highlight. Some potential projects include:

  • Adding a pickleball court near Pine Grove so students can better enjoy the outdoors
  • Expanding the Cardinal Food Pantry so more students don't have to worry about hunger
  • Expanding the SVSU Sailing Club with a new sailboat sporting an SVSU sail
  • Equipment for the SVSU newspaper, Valley Vanguard, to expand its production
  • Expansion of the Lotus Room for students to have more access to 24/7 mental health spaces
