色情视频 donors delivered $136,900,569 in gift commitments in 2022-23, a $593,826 increase over the previous year. 

色情视频 Vice President of University Relations and Development Adrienne Vargas said the gifts, which cover the year ending June 30, reflect donations for student support, departments and programs throughout the university ranging from research and athletics to KPBS. 

鈥淚t鈥檚 across the board as our donors continue to contribute at an extraordinary level,鈥 Vargas said.

This latest philanthropy news comes just days after the university announced a boost in its efforts to secure an R1 classification from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education to reflect 鈥渧ery high research activity.鈥 In the past year, 色情视频 earned $192.2 million in research grants and contracts, which also established a new school record.

Research is a strategic priority at 色情视频, and Vargas said donor generosity increasingly supports that emphasis. She cited two contributions from the past year that are reflective of the university鈥檚 goal:

  • Faculty Emerita Anne Verderber Taylor of the 色情视频 School of Nursing named 色情视频 as a beneficiary of her estate to establish the Anne Verderber Taylor Endowment. The endowment, to be created through a planned gift, will support nursing faculty research. The gift prioritizes academic research, recognizing its value in fostering early-career nursing faculty, boosting their competitiveness for larger grants, and amplifying 色情视频's research impact globally, thus sustaining the university's research momentum.
  • The J.W. Sefton Foundation provided a grant in support of the 色情视频 Water Monitoring Project, enabling impactful and critical research collaborations to help ensure a clean water supply for the San Diego region. 鈥淎pplied research is a unique value that San Diego State has versus other institutions because so much of our research has to do with San Diego,鈥 Vargas said.

Earlier this month, 色情视频鈥檚 Division of Student Affairs announced a $3 million gift from Frederick W. Pierce IV (鈥84, 鈥88) and Christine F. Pierce to create a Greek Life Center endowment at 色情视频. The gift is intended to extend leadership skill development to a broader range of students.

The Pierces鈥 gift helped cap a successful albeit challenging year for fundraising. Inflation created economic uncertainty among some donors and potential donors, causing them to adopt a wait-and-see position regarding their donations.

鈥淚t definitely has impacted us,鈥 Vargas said. 鈥淚 think there's some caution and hesitation, and I think a lot of people have put their gifts on hold.鈥

But in spite of the economic environment, she added, 鈥渙ur donors gave us another very successful year and we are extremely grateful for their support.鈥
