Our Crowdfunding Groups
Missouri State's crowdfunding platform, IMPACT, allows Bears to band together and make a direct impact on the causes that matter most to them. Current students, faculty and staff are invited to use IMPACT to fund initiatives and programs.
IMPACT enables students, faculty and staff to raise funds in support of the Bear community. Projects in the past have been used to create critical hands-on learning opportunities, purchase state-of-the-art classroom equipment, support clinical assignments in rural and under-served areas, fund travel to competitions abroad and so much more.
Gifts through crowdfunding are tax deductible and donors will receive a tax receipt upon making their gift.
Why use IMPACT?
Fundraising through IMPACT directly benefits Missouri State programs and organizations. Your gift is counted as a tax-deductible donation through the Missouri State University Foundation, a 501 (c) (3), not-for-profit corporation.
Every gift made is directed into the program, college or organization and immediately accessible by them.
