Making an Impact

Greetings from the Pittsburg State University Foundation!

This year, the University underwent an involved planning process to create a new strategic plan and identify fundraising initiatives. This plan places a special emphasis on our mission: to make life better through education. As the Foundation celebrates its 38th year, we will continue to support and align with this mission and to steward your gifts in the best way possible. We are committed to maximizing the impact of your gifts through prudent investment management. Please know that your Foundation is healthy and strong, and we plan to continue building on that strength.

Our alumni and friends continue to step up by providing current, endowed, and planned gifts to enable us to make life better for the next generation of Gorillas. We truly appreciate the investment and confidence you have shown in the PSU Foundation. We hope you take great pride in what we have been able to accomplish with your support.

 

Sincerely,
