More than one way to be impactful
Charleston Southern Fund
The Charleston Southern Fund is our annual fund that provides unrestricted scholarship support for students. Every gift to the Charleston Southern Fund goes directly to help students receive their education at CSU.
Buy a Brick Program
Personalizing a brick is a great way to celebrate your time at Charleston Southern, to commemorate friendships and memories made, to honor your favorite faculty or staff member or to memorialize a loved one. All alumni, as well as faculty/staff, coaches, parents and friends of the university are encouraged to personalize a brick on the Reflection Pond walkway.
Board of Visitors Scholarship Program
This important support group is a channel for involvement and networking of distinguished citizens and leaders who are interested in furthering the university’s mission and providing assistance in the areas of planning, promoting and resource development.
Buc Club
There are many levels of giving available that can assist with student-athletic scholarships and increase the Buccaneer spirit! With 16 teams in action throughout the year, this opportunity is ideal for all sports lovers.
Endowed Gifts
The gift that keeps giving year after year through scholarships, professorships, academic chairs or other areas of interest.
The Legacy Society
Giving to the university through planned giving passes on your values for generations to come.

II. To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization’s governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
III. To have access to the organization’s most recent financial statements.
IV. To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
V. To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.
VI. To be assured that information about their donation is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
VII. To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
VIII. To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
IX. To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share.
