2023 Day of Giving
Join fellow Roadrunners for the seventh annual MSU Denver Day of Giving on March 30! Day of Giving is a way for alumni, faculty, staff, students and community members to provide Roadrunners with the resources they need to rise to reach their goals in the classroom, in their careers and as leaders in their communities.
Last year, 1,148 donors helped raise more than $220,000 to support scholarships, special projects, student-support services, athletics, student clubs/organizations and more. Roadrunner supporters like you help our students level up and hit their high scores!

MSU Denver Day of Giving Celebration
I Gave Because…
After you make your gift to MSU Denver and your favorite campaign, share your “I Gave Because…” graphic on social media! Right-click the images below to download and add your personal message on why you donated and why you love MSU Denver.
Social Media Advocate Sign Up
The easiest way to make an impact on MSU Denver Day of Giving is by signing up to become a social media advocate. Becoming an Advocate makes spreading the word about your campaign easy, fun, and rewarding because you know exactly how many clicks, gifts, and dollars your outreach is generating in real time. The best part is, the advocate who raises the most money and the advocate that brings in the most gifts will win Day of Giving bonus funds to award to the project of their choice!
Last year, over 50 advocates brought in nearly $22,000 for giving day projects. We are counting on you to spread the word and encourage fellow Roadrunners to make a gift to help us reach our goal of 1000 donors!
