Employee Handbook
Welcome to the Tower Foundation of San José State University (Tower). Tower is the University’s auxiliary organization dedicated to philanthropy. Its primary mission is to build bridges with alumni and friends by improving services, stewardship and donor support. Tower encourages gifts from individuals, corporations and private foundations, trusts, and bequests for the benefit of San José State and prudently manages the University’s endowment to ensure a steady source of support for the endowed purpose.
