The Center for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods (CSRL) was created at Iowa State University with a gift from our initial benefactors, who shared the university's vision for its role in discovering and applying sustainable solutions to world hunger. Private gifts continue to be a critical source of revenue for the Center, and to continue our successful projects in the future, we will continue to rely on private gifts to support our work.

Private gifts fund activities such as demonstration plots and farmer training, travel expenses, student and faculty/staff support, and other program development efforts. Gifts at every level can make a difference in our programs. More substantial gifts help us expand the scale of current projects, add complementary activities, endow graduate student fellowships or faculty positions, or initiate projects in countries or regions that are not currently being targeted by CSRL. Financial gift options are described below.
