CARES Fund


At Sacramento State, every student brings unique strengths and perspectives that enrich our community. Through the Sac State CARES Fund, we ensure these dedicated learners can overcome unexpected challenges and continue their educational journey with confidence.

When life presents sudden obstacles, the CARES Fund steps in to provide crucial support. This vital resource helps students maintain stable housing, keeps their transportation reliable, and ensures access to essential needs like food, utilities, and course materials. For student parents, the fund offers assistance with childcare, allowing them to attend classes while caring for their families. By addressing these immediate needs, we empower students to focus on what matters most – their education and future success.

Your gift to the Sac State CARES Fund creates immediate impact for students in our community. Whether helping a future engineer repair their car to reach campus safely, supporting a aspiring teacher with temporary housing, or ensuring a student parent can afford childcare while completing their degree, your generosity opens doors to opportunity. Please give today to show our students they have a community ready to support their success. 

Thank you for being part of their journey.
