Have you ever wanted to support a favorite Missouri State cause directly? Now you can through crowdfunding, which provides current students, faculty and staff a chance to raise capital and market their campaign to Missouri State and beyond. Students, faculty, and staff create pages with descriptions of causes, funding requests and deadlines. They post these on the Missouri State crowdfunding site.
As they develop goals, deadlines and marketing strategies they can fill out the Missouri State Crowdfunding Campaign Application. The project must be approved before it will go live. For more information on making your campaign a success, visit the Missouri State Foundation.
The Foundation is also sponsoring crowdfunding workshops on campus where people can get the tools they need to make thier campaign a success. The next two seesions are on November 11 and November 15. Sign-up soon because space is limited.
