In the spirit of our Public Affairs mission and collaborative atmosphere, The United Way Campaign and The Missouri State Way Campaign are a combined effort on the Missouri State campus.

Our Missouri State Way Campaign is an opportunity for faculty and staff to support areas of the university. It’s an internal effort specifically focused on the participation of the campus community. All donations, regardless of amount or designation, made by faculty and staff during the fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) count toward the Missouri State Way giving total.
