You passion is what drives you - explore how it can help our students too.
Your PassionLet us help you reach your philanthropic goals
At MSU Denver, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to pursue their dreams. We know higher education is the critical factor in upward economic and social mobility, and that is why we offer a high-quality education that prepares students to be well-rounded and work-ready.
MSU Denver educates more Coloradans than any other public institution in the state, yet we receive the lease state funding per student. Our availability to offer access to educational opportunities depends on everyone’s support and generosity.
Calendar Year End Giving
Making a gift at the end of the year is a great way to support MSU Denver and take advantage of potential take tax benefits you may qualify for this year.
Remember, the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 has been extended to 2021, allowing most individuals – even those who choose to take the standard deduction – to deduct up to $600 in donations to qualified charities (like MSU Denver) on their federal income tax returns.
We invite you to explore the many ways you can make a difference for Roadrunners this season!
Gifts of Stocks/Securities
