Giving Day 2025 is an opportunity for McQueary College of Health and Human Services (MCHHS) faculty, staff, students and alumni, as well as community partners, friends and family, to come together for one purpose — to support Missouri State University and its students. 

Every contribution makes an impact, shaping the future of health care education and innovation. 

A united effort to support student success 

MCHHS has been a leading contender in the past Giving Day campaigns in challenges, donors and dollars donated to the university.  

Donors can choose where their gift makes the most impact — supporting schools, programs, student organizations and teams. They can also sponsor or participate in special challenges throughout the Giving Day celebration, increasing their contribution to the university. 

Last year, two out of the top 10 ambassadors on the leader board came from MCHHS and the number of donors increased by 219 compared to the previous year. 

Donations to MCHHS have supported renovations of Ann Kampeter Health Sciences Hall, allowing for more collaborative student spaces and improved classroom technology for faculty and students, as well as student scholarships. 

Together we make a difference 

All Bears and friends can get involved with Missouri State’s Giving Day in many ways! Consider how you want to participate: 

• Simply donate – You can make your gift now, although the majority of gifts and challenges will take place from 10 a.m. March 25 to 10 p.m. March 26. 
• Sponsor a match or challenge – Matches and challenges bring a competitive spirit to Giving Day, which results in an increase in the number of donations by 110%, the average size of a donation by 41% and revenue by 120%. Individuals or groups can sponsor challenges throughout the Giving Day celebration. 
• Become a Giving Day Ambassador – Anyone can be an ambassador. Sign up to get started.
