Donor Recognition

Julie and Jim Rouse in Legacy Hall

Approximately 30,000 alumni, friends, parents, companies, foundations, and organizations contribute to Mississippi State each year. By doing so, they are making an investment in the institution and, in many instances, creating a legacy for future generations.

The MSU Foundation honors the wishes of its donors by using their gifts as they have designated them. Our goal is to always be good stewards of the investments entrusted to us. Through recognition societies, the Foundation provides a return commitment to our donors and allows the Mississippi State community to proudly say “thanks” for their support.

Many of our recognition societies acknowledge and honor lifelong commitments to Mississippi State and carry with them certain privileges. Donor recognition exists at a variety of levels including the Legacy of Leadership, the Old Main Society and the President’s Club. Recognition levels are also available for those who support Mississippi State on a continuous annual basis.
