Giving for SVSU Faculty, Staff & Adjuncts
As an SVSU employee, you are an important piece of our students' — and the university's — success. A financial gift to the SVSU Foundation is one way to make an immediate or long-term impact on our students. Each faculty, staff or adjunct member is a piece of the Cardinal picture, and when we all come together, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Every employee gift, large and small, makes an impact.
- Impacts Students — If a student struggles to afford tuition, the resulting financial stress undercuts their education and opportunities for learning outside of the classroom.
- Impacts Recruitment and Retention — Scholarships can be the tipping point that determines whether or not we welcome that new Cardinal in the fall.
- Impacts Giving from Other Donors — High employee participation in giving communicates to foundations and major donors that we are personally willing to invest in our mission and our students.
There are many ways to support SVSU students.
