Our Crowdfunding Groups
The Black Student Union at Northern Arizona University is open to all students to better connect with and understand the Black community at NAU. BSU meetings allow NAU students to share in meaningful discussions, attend fun game nights, and participate in other events that cultivate the celebration of Black culture.
Each week in February, in recognition of Black History Month, BSU is hosting campus-wide events and activities that focus on understanding intersectionality with the Black community, racial identity, and the celebration of Black excellence and culture. We will close out Black History Month with our annual black-tie gala, Black Renaissance. This year's theme is Enchanted Bayou, highlighting the idea that black people are in fairytales too!
BSU asks you to consider supporting our outreach efforts to organize, educate, and engage NAU students, staff, and faculty with these events and activities. Your gift today supports student engagement, not just this month, but all donations will continue to fund future events, activities, and discussions aimed at building cultural awareness and community at NAU.
All updates and plans for the next semester will be posted on Instagram: @NAUBSU
Fellow Lumberjacks, we're looking to you to help us out at this level! BSU is launching a student book club this semester. Each gift at this level supports the purchase of one book for a student to participate in intersectional dialogue around topics such as black excellence, community, and power, with an emphasis on reading black authors.
The BSU Gold committee hosts club parties and engagement events with the local Flagstaff community each year. A gift at this level will contribute to the continued efforts of the BSU Gold committee and further BSU's community outreach efforts.
The theme for the 2024 BSU Black Renaissance is Enchanted Bayou. A gift at this level supports BSU’s commitment to hosting campus-wide events that reflect and develop an awareness of the diversity in black identity.
You got big bucks! We appreciate a gift at this level so much that we're making you honorary BSU Royalty! Gifts at this level support the annual BSU Fashion and Talent Show, where BSU members make a bid to be crowned royalty during Black Renaissance. Along with the student winners, we'll also announce each donor's name that gives at this level as honorary royalty.
Oh, you rich rich? A gift at this level ensures more students and members of the NAU community can attend BSU's annual black tie event, Black Renaissance, to celebrate black excellence, culture, and community. Donors at this level will receive a special thank you video from BSU Royalty during this year's event.
