Seventh Annual #LoveCSUPueblo Give Day a Success for CSU Pueblo

PUEBLO –Colorado State University Pueblo wrapped-up another amazing day of support at 11:59 p.m. on Nov 3. The Seventh Annual Love CSU Pueblo Give Day once again exceeded expectations raising much-needed dollars for 27 cross-campus campaigns.

The Seventh Annual Love CSU Pueblo Give Day was a tremendous success. As of the morning of Friday, Nov. 4, the 24-hour give-a-thon to support CSU Pueblo causes large and small had raised $70,560 from 1,211 gifts. Gifts came from across the country, with gifts received from 25 states. Gifts ranged in size from $1 to $2,500.

“It was a great day to be a ThunderWolf! We are astounded by the generosity of our Seventh Annual Love CSU Pueblo Give Day supporters,” said Todd Kelly, President/CEO of the CSU Pueblo Foundation. “Once again our loyal donors, students, faculty, staff and alumni showed us their love for CSU Pueblo. Each gift we received, from the one-dollar investment to the $2,500 donation is meaningful and makes a tremendous impact on our campus. We cannot thank our students, alumni, friends, faculty and staff enough for showing their love and tipping the scales on our goals set for this day.”

Donor numbers are the focus on Give Day and donors turned out in droves to show their love. Of the 1,211 gifts received 44.8 % came from students, 12.7% from friends of the University, 30.5% from University faculty/staff, and 12% from alumni of the University.

The CSU Pueblo Foundation provided four fundraising incentives for campaigns to work for: most overall, most faculty/staff, most student and most alumni donors. These incentives allowed campaigns to receive an additional $1,000 or $500 for their cause and were able to be paired with the Foundation’s dollar-for-dollar match up to $1,000 for each eligible campaign.
