Join the #BearCrowd on #GivingTuesday
#GivingTuesday™ is now in its fifth year as a worldwide campaign to promote a global day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday encourages end-of-year giving. The Missouri State University Foundation is a registered partner. On Tuesday, November 29, the Foundation will be showcasing our new site, Missouri State Crowdfunding. Please consider supporting the incredible crowdfunding campaigns now in process. Whether you choose to be a donor, advocate, or both, your support makes a big impact for Missouri State.
The Missouri State Foundation has partnered with GiveCampus to provide this resource for Missouri State University students, faculty, staff, organizations and programs to use the power of crowdfunding to raise money and generate support for Missouri State projects.
