We recognize that your gifts to The University Foundation make a critical difference in the quality of Chico State students' educational experience. The Board of Governors has teamed with a professional investment consulting firm that specializes in higher education endowment management. The board oversees the administration of the university's endowment, charitable donations, and planned gifts to maximize the positive impact of your gift.
