A nod to four decades of successful fundraising
MSU Foundation celebrates 40th anniversary.
In fall 1980, Missouri State University established the Missouri State University Foundation to help raise more private funds.
This was a crucial need as state funding was no longer enough to cover all the university’s operational costs.
