Established in 1943, San Diego State chartered the San Diego State University Foundation to provide and augment programs and
goals not financially supported by the State of California. Today, the Foundation promotes, administers, and provides funds
for research conducted by SDSU faculty and graduate students. As a non-profit auxiliary to SDSU, it administers approximately
1,000 grants and contracts annually, making it the largest auxiliary in the California State University system. It also oversees
real property development and management for the University. In 2004 the SDSU Foundation became the SDSU Research Foundation.
The Foundation's mission is to "further the educational, research and community service objectives of San Diego State University."
