Through crowdfunding, the Missouri State University Choral Studies program has been able to pay for the cost of outdoor performance attire and also raise funds for a much-needed choral endowment.
We originally set out to raise $13,500, but ended up raising $50,000 through the generosity of over 250 donors from across the world.
Our long-term goal for the endowment is $1,000,000, which would generate approximately $40,000/year for the program. This would dramatically increase support for experiences and opportunities for students.
Additional gifts to MSU Choral Endowment may be made here: missouristate.edu/chorale2017.
MSU alumni that make a qualifying gift of $25 or more receive an Active Alumni Member card.
