The CCSU Foundation,
Inc. was created in 1971, at the request of the University, as a vehicle
to obtain private contributions to support educational programs and
research at Central Connecticut
State University. Incorporated under the laws

governed by an independent Board of Directors which includes
members of the faculty, the student body, the alumni, and the general

ex-officio member of the Board of Directors.
The Foundation solicits private contributions to benefit Central Connecticut
State University. Funds are allocated in five
major program areas: institutional enrichment, scholarships, academic
enrichment, research, and unrestricted. The Board of Directors disburses
unrestricted funds to University programs and activities deemed by the
Board, in consultation with the President of the University, to be the
most worthy. Restricted donations are disbursed according to the terms of
the donation.
The relationship between the University and the CCSU Foundation, Inc. is
subject to Sections 4-37e through 4-37j of the Connecticut General

foundations which exist to benefit public colleges and universities. This
relationship is further defined in an agreement between the Board of
Trustees of the Connecticut State
University and the CCSU Foundation, Inc.
