METHODS OF SUPPORT

The Bulldog Foundation offers a variety of ways to support Fresno State student-athletes through charitable giving. Donors may choose to invest in student-athlete scholarships or sport-specific funds, allowing them to support the programs and opportunities they care about most. Every gift helps provide Bulldogs with the resources they need to succeed in competition, in the classroom, and in life.

We appreciate gifts of any amount in support of Bulldog Student-Athletes. Payments can be made via cash, check or credit card (Visa, American Express, Discover or Mastercard). Gifts can be made online, over the phone, through mail or in person. Payment plans are also available.

SCHOLARSHIP FUND

Because of the generosity of Bulldog Foundation Members, the Bulldog Foundation provides both full and partial scholarships to student-athletes across all 18 Fresno State sports. These scholarships support more than 350 student-athletes each year, helping them pursue a high-quality education while competing at the Division I level.

 

Gifts to the Bulldog Scholarship Fund directly impact the lives of student-athletes and ensure they have the resources they need to succeed academically and athletically. Contributions of any amount are 100% tax-deductible (less any applicable ticket-related benefits).

 

The Bulldog Foundation proudly recognizes two premier giving societies that support scholarship funding: the Green V Society and the Meyers Champions Circle, whose members play a vital role in sustaining scholarship opportunities for Fresno State student-athletes.

The Green V Society represents the highest level of annual giving in support of the Bulldog Scholarship Fund. Its members are Fresno State’s most dedicated supporters; individuals whose leadership gifts of $10,000 or more annually create lasting opportunities for Bulldog student-athletes.

 

Green V society members play a defining role in sustaining scholarship excellence and shaping the future of Fresno State Athletics. In recognition of their commitment, members receive a premier donor experience that includes exclusive benefits, distinguished recognition, and meaningful engagement opportunities that reflect their impact and legacy.
