Like the gold-rushers who journeyed to San Francisco back in the early 1900s for a better way of life, GGU has provided educational opportunities for 121 years that have transformed and empowered the professional success and personal lives of almost 70,000 graduates.
Philanthropic support of GGU enhances the university’s ability to prepare the next generation of leaders to imagine, anticipate, create, and make a difference in a dynamic and unpredictable world. Gifts from alumni, faculty, staff, parents, friends, and students help to increase the interest, involvement, and investment in the mission and impact of Golden Gate University. GGU’s future remains bright because it is built on our Five Pillars of Excellence:
