Loyal Blue
Loyal Blue recognizes individuals who invest in our university every year – without fail.
The Bold & Blue campaign catalyzed historic philanthropy since the public launch in 2021, and, as a result, thousands of friends have joined the yellow and blue family. Inspired by this tremendous show of support, the SDSU Foundation created a new loyalty giving society, Loyal Blue, as a means of honoring countless donors like you. While Loyal Blue was established during this historic fundraising initiative, our newest loyalty giving society will continue to honor dedicated donors for years to come, long after the Bold & Blue campaign’s successful conclusion.
Loyal Blue recognizes loyal donors who have contributed a minimum of $100 annually for three consecutive years.*
Members of Loyal Blue enjoy the following exclusive opportunities:
- Recognition in the digital STATELY Review
- Name featured on the interactive touchscreen in the SDSU Foundation Wes and Lois Tschetter Reception Area
- Custom-branded Loyal Blue/SDSU items
- Invitation to virtual event(s) with key campus leaders
