Overview
It can’t be said enough that without donors and the support of their gifts, the USF St. Petersburg campus wouldn’t be what it is today. Donor gifts–of any kind–help strengthen the University from support to upgrade facilities, like the Armed Forces Family Foundation and their support to rennovate the Military and Veterans Success Center, to program support like the Debbie Nye Sembler Student Success fund which supports student success.
