Annual Giving

A major component of Mississippi State University’s private support initiative is the Annual Giving program, which allows alumni and friends to make annual outright contributions and designate them for any area of the university they choose to support. Gifts may also be designated for the “Mississippi State Fund” to be used by the university in the areas of greatest need.

Without the generosity of loyal alumni, parents, and friends on a consistent annual basis, Mississippi State could not be successful in its endeavors. A gift through the MSU Annual Fund touches lives every day and improves the total educational experience for all MSU students - the reason we exist.

The MSU Annual Fund also provides a way for graduates or friends to activate their membership in the MSU Alumni Association. A gift of any amount made through the Annual Fund activates the donor’s membership in the Alumni Association for one year and enables alumni to reap the benefits of active membership.

Many of the traditions, activities and programs you loved as an MSU student, along with those you have come to enjoy as a friend of the institution, can remain a part of the university through annual support. Make a gift today in support of your Mississippi State!
