The Power of Giving

I have very good memories of my time at FSU and a large part of that involves my time with the Center. The first time I walked into the Center, I was a college student following a whim. I had half of an idea of what I wanted to do in life and no idea of how or where to do it. My path is much clearer these days and though it has been a long time since I have been in Tallahassee, the compassion I bring to my profession and my role as an active citizen found its roots with the Center's service programs. I support the Center's work because I know the lessons learned there last a lifetime. -Dr. Cindy Le

As donors, we have enjoyed the direct and significant impact we have been able to make through the Center for Leadership & Civic Education. We are confident that we have made a meaningful investment in encouraging civically-minded students to pursue their laudable commitment to community service, both locally and globally. In our view, the support and oversight provided to the students by the Center, as well as the classroom curriculum component, make this a unique and particularly successful program.

Like educational institutions across the country, and departments across campus, Florida State University and the Division of Student Affairs rely on multiple sources of financial support. As a public university, FSU receives the largest part of its support from state appropriations and student tuition and fees. Together, these sources cover about 65 percent of the university’s annual needs. The remaining 35 percent must come from grants and private gifts. Facilitating these gifts is very important to the university and to the students we serve.

Student Success...Diversity…Health and Wellness…Student Life. Support of the Division of Student Affairs is essential to continue the work we do preparing students for post-collegiate life. Whether you prefer giving as part of your annual gift, creating an endowment or through a planned gift, each contribution makes an impact on current and future students at Florida State. You can even designate that you prefer to give directly toward a particular department or program within Student Affairs.

Most donors make gifts and pledge payments by check, credit card, automatic bank drafts or even payroll deduction in the case of Florida State University faculty and staff. Click here to donate
