Campus Store Donation Request Form
The UCCS Campus Store is a self-supporting department within UCCS Auxiliary Services. The Campus Store does not receive state funding, General Fund support, or student fee funding. Through its operations, the Campus Store helps fund university services, supports campus infrastructure, and contributes to programs and initiatives that benefit the UCCS community.
Because we receive many donation requests, we intentionally focus our giving on supporting the UCCS community. Donation requests are generally limited to registered UCCS student organizations, UCCS departments, UCCS-sponsored programs, and organizations with a demonstrated affiliation to UCCS.
The guidelines below help determine whether a request is eligible for consideration. Meeting one or more criteria does not guarantee approval. While we wish we could support every request, donations are limited by available resources and operational priorities.
