The tremendous commitment of MSU's faculty, staff and retirees is reflected in their financial contributions. Their time, talents and gifts have supported Michigan State's growth to preeminence in education, research and outreach in extraordinary ways. Last fiscal year faculty, staff and retirees committed more than $11.8 million to MSU in cash and planned gifts.
The 2009 All University Campaign focuses on the many giving opportunities available at MSU, and encourages members of the MSU family to make gifts that support their personal values and interests.
When deciding where to direct your gift, take a look at the opportunities for giving at MSU by browsing through the colleges and programs that employees support through their work and financial commitments.
1855 Society Overview
Expand1855 Club Overview
The start of the 2004 All University Campaign signaled the beginning of a new donor recognition group at MSU, the 1855 Club. This is the first such club specifically created with faculty, staff and retirees of Michigan State University in mind.
"For some time the university has had a series of donor societies which require a pledge of at least $10,000 payable in $2,000 annual installments over five years," explained former All University Campaign Advisory Cabinet member Phyllis Kacos, secretary in the college of Communication Arts and Sciences. “For some faculty and staff, that annual commitment was a bit much. So, the university decided to give those of us working here on campus or retired from MSU the chance to be recognized for our contributions at a very reasonable rate—only $84 per month." Phyllis pointed out that only current or retired faculty and staff of the MSU community are eligible for recognition in the new club. Recognition in the 1855 Club requires only an annual gift of $1,000 per year for five years to any MSU designation of the donor’s choosing. Such commitments will make an incredible difference, according to MSU fundraisers.
“There is no doubt that commitments at this level have a tremendous long term effect on Michigan State University," said Marti Heil, associate vice president for University Development. “MSU is already a leader in the Big Ten in terms of participation and total contributions from within its community. Individual commitments at this level can be significant to programs and scholarship funds in need."
The 1855 Club donors will be recognized throughout the MSU community as leaders in supporting the future of this dynamic and beautiful university. Each will receive a uniquely designed lapel pin, the donor focused newsletter Developments, and invitations to faculty and staff campaign events and recognition programs. College or unit-based recognition may be applicable as well. “We’re looking forward to seeing how the faculty and staff respond to this opportunity," said Phyllis. “Especially with payroll deduction available to so many of us, the $84 per month could be much easier to manage."
