Make your gift go further! Participate in any of the bonus opportunities below and help earn bonus monies for your favorite college, program or fund.
MSU Federal Credit Union
Michigan State University Federal Credit Union has been a valued partner of Michigan State University for more than 80 years. During that time, MSUFCU has supported hundreds of MSU initiatives and events, from arts engagement and education programs to MSU employee recognition programs. This year, MSUFCU wants to inspire others to support MSU so they have stepped up once again to be the 2023 Give Green Day sponsor. To encourage others to make a gift on March 14, MSUFCU has committed matching funds to be used during special bonus opportunities on Give Green Day.
“MSUFCU is proud to partner with MSU during Give Green Day this year. We hope to encourage giving from others who will come alongside and invest in the programs, services and scholarships that support students in areas of greatest need and significant impact.” — April Clobes, President & CEO MSUFCU
Interim President Woodruff allocated an additional $100,000 to further leverage MSUFCU's generous gift. So, the more others give, the more bonus money will be awarded! Follow #GiveGreenDay for announcements and ways to make your gift go further.
