Day of giving is Thursday, Nov. 1, 2018, that goes from midnight to midnight — and you can help!
It only takes two simple steps…

The Dean’s Council Annual Fund
When you give to the College of Arts and Humanities on Day of Giving, unless otherwise specified, you will be helping to support the Dean’s Council Annual Fund. Those funds are then equally dispersed into two areas;
- Dean’s Council Scholarship Endowment: Provides scholarships and student assistance.
- Dean’s Discretionary Fund: Provides curriculum enrichment, research, and travel funding for students and faculty, technological and artistic support, as well as funding for the unique and unexpected needs of the College.
Here are just a few of the ways Dean’s Council funds have been used to directly impact students lives at Fresno State.
