Our Philosophy
At its core, our philosophy is simple – serve with whatever we have, and trust that the rest will fall into place. This principle guides everything we do, from the work we put into our programs to the way we fundraise. We don’t chase grants or seek out sponsorships – instead, we rely on the generosity of those who are moved by our work. And while it might not be the most conventional approach, it has served us well so far. People often ask us how we keep everything going, and the answer is always the same – we serve with what we have, and trust that the universe will provide. So far, it has yet to let us down.

Why should I donate to California Transfer Support Network?
There are many reasons to donate to the California Transfer Support Network (CTSN). As a small organization, we focus on improving transfer rates amongst a student population that is often overlooked. Community college students are not typical students; they are single moms, working adults, and students from low-income backgrounds who have to deal with outside stressors that can impact their college experience. They often have difficulty transferring, so providing free resources to these students is essential to help them reach their goals. CTSN is committed to ensuring that these students have the resources they need to transfer to a four-year college or university successfully.
When you donate to CTSN, you can be confident that your money will be used to support these students directly. In addition, your donation will have a far more significant impact on our small organization than on a larger one. By donating to CTSN, you can help us make a real difference in the lives of California’s community college students.
