Join us for Giving Day over March 25-26, 2025!
Welcome to Giving Day 2025!
We invite Bears, Grizzlies, and friends from all generations to help shape a new ERA of Missouri State University. Over the next 36 hours, you can make a direct impact on the university's colleges, athletic teams, and campus partners.
You can still sign up as a Giving Day Ambassador to make a bigger impact. When you make your gift, and you can encourage two others to make a gift, you will earn a branded MSU or MSU-WP blanket.
