About

Every Otter’s journey is unique. Some may need scholarship support to make their higher education possible. Others rely on mentoring, career services, or emergency aid to stay on track. What unites them is the power of your generosity.

When you give to the Otter Impact Fund, your unrestricted support is directed where it’s needed most. It opens doors, removes barriers, and ensures every Otter can thrive at Cal State Monterey Bay.

These flexible dollars allow us to respond quickly to students’ evolving needs which could include:

  • Providing scholarships to relieve a financial burden
  • Expanding opportunities for hands-on learning, technology and innovation
  • Ensuring access to resources for wellness and belonging

As we look ahead, we invite you to join us in fueling student success. Your gift, no matter the size, creates a ripple of immediate and lasting impact. Together, these gifts create waves of change that transform our campus and empower students to overcome any challenge.

Thank you for investing in our students, our campus and our future. This is the Otter Impact and demonstrates the Strength of Us.
