Annual Giving
Each year the Boise State University Foundation invites alumni, friends, faculty and staff to make a gift in support of the university. Contributions are used to support and enhance the colleges, departments and programs at Boise State.
Annual gifts provide the university’s leadership with the unrestricted resources necessary to fund innovative programs, address urgent needs, support student scholarships, invest in faculty and staff, help pay for campus improvements, and furnish more resources to maintain a high-caliber university.
Your Gift, Your Choice
You can choose to designate your gift to a specific college, department or program that is of interest to you. Some options include:
- The Annual Fund—a gift to the Annual Fund allows university leadership to direct resources to the most critical and urgent needs at Boise State.
- The Boise State Scholarship Fund—a gift to the scholarship fund will help to make it possible for another deserving student to enroll or continue at Boise State.
- College Funds—a gift to a Boise State college fund allows deans to direct resources to critical needs within their college.
- The Albertsons Library Fund—a gift to the library fund supports the learning, teaching and research needs of the entire university community.
Gifts can be made by check, credit card, or securely online and all gifts are tax deductible.
Phonathon
The largest and most significant part of Boise State’s annual giving efforts is phonathon. Each year phonathon callers contact alumni and friends in order to provide the latest news about the university, update records, and ask for an annual pledge in support of Boise State.
Students interested in working at the phonathon can download an application here (doc).
Employee Giving Campaign
Each year the Boise State University Foundation invites faculty and staff to contribute to the university through the All-University Campaign. Gifts can be made by check, credit card, or payroll deduction, and all are tax deductible. By signing up for payroll deduction, employees can give a little each pay period and have it add up to a significant amount by the end of the year. Learn more at the Employee Giving Campaign page.
Matching Gifts
An easy way to double or even triple a donation to Boise State University is to find out if your company has a matching-gift program. Such programs typically match all or a percentage of employee contributions to charitable organizations, making the employer a partner in employees’ personal philanthropy. Simply obtain a matching-gift form from your employer’s personnel office, fill it out and provide it to Boise State University with your contribution.
