Give Sac State Day 2023

Sacramento State is where the future begins for thousands of inspiring minds each year.

Give Sac State Day is our day to come together as a Hornet family and Sacramento community to redefine what is possible for students. It’s our chance to fund programs that empower them to become leaders and keep them on the path to graduation. 

The future begins right here.

A Round of A-Paws!!
Apr 22, 2023

Wow! Give Sac State Day 2023 broke every previous record–all thanks to YOU!



We made the call for support, and not only did you answer, you went #allinforSacState. Whether you spread the word on social media, made a gift, signed up to be an Ambassador, or helped complete a challenge, you are the reason that we’re reaching new heights! We are so inspired by our Hornet Family, and so grateful for your support of our students and programs.


So, from our furry family to our Hornet Family, thank you for making this day the biggest success in Give Sac State Day history!


What we do here, at Sac State, has significance everywhere!
