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 also count toward Mizzou Giving Day.

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.

Your support will make Mizzou Giving Day a success. Make sure to tell your friends about this fun and inspiring day for Tigers to make a difference by posting about Mizzou Giving Day — with the hashtag #MizzouGivingDay — on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. On Mizzou Giving Day, participate in our social media challenges to help spread the word.

During Mizzou's third annual comprehensive fundraising effort in 2019, our alumni and friends made over 4,000 gifts totaling more than $13.2 million. Your generosity was inspiring, and we look forward to this year's opportunity to once again support every area of the university.
