Like all universities, public or private, ASU depends heavily on support from the private sector
to advance and achieve excellence. Public Affairs manages a variety of fundraising
programs to support and advance the university's mission and short and long-range goals. These include
the Annual Fund, through which alumni are encouraged to provide
support for their academic college or the president's academic enrichment fund;
major gifts and endowments, which play a significant
role in supporting scholarships, academic programs, faculty positions, research, and facilities;
planned giving, which provides ways for individuals
to make significant contributions to the university through deferred gifts; the
Provost's Club, which supports the initiatives of
the provost as well as scholarship funds; and other
special events, which support student scholarships
and honor community members.
The Annual Fund at Arizona State University provides an opportunity for alumni and friends
to build a legacy of excellence for our students, our community and our nation.
Annual fund gifts provide crucial resources for scholarships, special projects and capital needs
for individual colleges and units on the campus. Through our direct mail and Sundial telemarketing
programs, ASU's friends are invited to join a dynamic and exciting community of donors helping to
build a tradition of excellence and vision.
To contribute to the annual fund please complete the
online giving form
or call (602) 543-5212.
Gifts from our loyal alumni and friends fund scholarships and fellowships for talented students,
as well as chairs and professorships for gifted faculty. They provide investment dollars needed
for new research programs. They fund bricks and mortar projects and help launch new initiatives.
Your gift will help benefit ASU through:
Departmental and College Scholarships offered by the
College of Human Services, the
College of Teacher Education and Leadership, the
New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, and the
School of Global Management and Leadership.

and breadth to the regional history projects already underway at ASU's West campus and fulfill its
distinction as a nationally recognized center for the study of American regional history – the
customs, beliefs and ideas of the people who have lived in this region throughout the ages."
