CSU is proud to recognize leadership donors who have given $1 million dollars and more with a brick at the heart of campus. The Oval Donor Walk is a testament to the transformational impact you and your gifts have on the very essence of our University.

Loyalty
1870
Named for the year of Colorado State University’s founding, the 1870 club recognizes and celebrates a very special group of people: loyal supporters. 1870 club members have made an annual, cumulative gift of $1,870 or more.
This giving society is deeply rooted in the history of CSU. In 1870, a small group of visionaries established what would, in time, become Colorado State University. Individuals, couples, corporations, foundations, or organizations can be recognized as 1870 club members.
Women and Philanthropy
Women and Philanthropy connects and empowers a broad community to elevate women and philanthropy at Colorado State University. We recognize the power of women and strive to connect them with their passions at CSU so that, through philanthropy, the world’s biggest challenges are solved.
With a minimum of a $50 annual gift to the fund(s) that connect to your heart, you are eligible to join Women and Philanthropy. Once you have made your gift, we invite you to join our community and connect with events, programs, and communications that highlight, celebrate, and elevate women and philanthropy at CSU.
CSU Alumni Association
At Colorado State University, Rams take care of Rams – and our loyal Alumni Association lifetime and annual members exemplify that every day. Membership strengthens the alumni experience and allows us to continue to serve and care for our alumni family. In today’s changing world, we are obligated to nurture the communities we cherish, to uphold those values and principles, and to protect traditions that reinvigorate our Ram Pride. Those efforts have the power to transform the lives of our fellow Rams – on campus, online, and wherever you see the Green and Gold. We will strengthen our CSU family because of our commitment to each other.
Legacy
Frontier Legacy
The Frontier Legacy Society recognizes a special group of Colorado State University alumni and friends who have invested in the University’s future through a planned gift. A few of the most common examples of planned gifts are bequests, trusts, annuities (gifts that provide income for life, or a set period of time), beneficiary designations from life insurance, and/or IRA.
Membership in this gift club expresses your belief in CSU and demonstrates your commitment to improving the future through higher education. Your generosity not only works as a catalyst for positive change, but also inspires others to get involved and make a difference. Unless otherwise requested, enrollment is automatic with the commitment of a planned gift.
