OFFICE OF UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT
Mississippi Valley State University is more accurately a “state-assisted institution,” as we depend upon non-state resources for more than half of our operating needs.
The Office of Advancement is responsible for the timely and accurate deposit of all gifts received by all departments and divisions of the University. It is essential that gifts be transmitted to the University's Office of Advancement as soon as possible to maintain accurate records and ensure that donors are properly acknowledged and recognized.
Contributions are a fundamental means to assisting MVSU in attracting and retaining talented faculty and staff, while inspiring vibrant students to lead, learn and encourage business leaders and innovators to form vital partnerships that drive our shared economic and cultural future.
The Office of Advancement is here to assist with the most current information about giving opportunities at the University and to consult with individuals about how they can make a positive impact.
OUR MISSION
To support the mission, traditions and values, inherent strengths and future aspirations of Mississippi Valley State University with a strong philanthropic program that is focused on four key functions - prospect identification, engagement and cultivation, solicitation and stewardship - for the purpose of fostering and maintaining strong relationships with and garnering support from our constituents.
