The University of Missouri faces significant budget challenges. To remain affordable, Mizzou is committed to keeping its costs low and investing heavily in financial support for students, but we need your support. Gifts made through Mizzou Giving Day help schools, colleges and programs support the transformative student experience, innovative research and community service that ensure MU's place as a top-tier institution.

You can make your gift online at givingday.missouri.edu or by calling 866-267-7568. You can also call this number for instructions on mailing your gift. Gifts received by mail between March 12 and March 16 count toward Mizzou Giving Day.

There is no wrong place to give! Gifts to multiple designations are encouraged and accepted, possibly earning additional funds for your favorite school, program or initiative at MU.

Think of Mizzou's endowment as a permanent financial resource invested to protect its value for the long haul. The principal is preserved and an amount distributed each year that makes an impact across campus. A robust endowment translates to excellence year after year, regardless of fluctuations in the economy or the level of state support, by allowing us to recruit and retain stellar students and faculty while also investing in interdisciplinary collaboration and state-of-the-art learning environments.
