Patrons of Excellence Club

The first structured donor club for Mississippi State University, the Patrons of Excellence Club was launched by the MSU Foundation in 1963. Since that time, the program has allowed the Foundation to build additional donor societies to keep up with the level of private support needed as the university experienced growth and changing needs. Each year, the names of donors at the Patrons of Excellence levels are published in the MSU Foundation’s Annual Report. They receive lapel pins denoting their specific level of support within the Patrons of Excellence.

Donors qualify for Patrons of Excellence membership by making an annual gift or pledge from July 1 of the current year to June 30 of the following year at any one of the following gift levels:

  • Patron’s Council--$5,000 to $9,999
