California State University, San Bernardino is an institution of impact, both for the region and communities we serve, as well as in creating life-changing opportunities for students across its six colleges and Palm Desert Campus. When you create a planned gift for CSUSB in your estate plans, you are making a profound investment in the future of this great university, as well as the future of the thousands of students who will pursue their dreams here. By doing so, you are truly creating a legacy.
Cal State San Bernardino offers a robust planned giving program with many ways to support the university while fulfilling your philanthropic goals. With a deferred gift that will make a lasting impact, as well as provide benefits to you and your family — many of these gifts cost you nothing now, pay added income that could be helpful during retirement, and even reduce your taxes — you can be an integral part of preparing our students to be leaders in the region, the nation, and the world.
