Venture Kitchen Support

The Burgess Institute Venture Kitchen provides a fully licensed commercial kitchen for students in the venture creation program working on consumer-packaged goods or food-based startups. The physical kitchen space is in need of additional equipment. Your support will also support the development of Venture Kitchen programming specific to food-based businesses to better accommodate the needs of our student founders.

Give to the Burgess Institute and help purchase kitchen equipment and to support venture programming.

Funds raised for the MSU Burgess Institute will be used to improve a vitally important space for students pursuing ventures that require a commercial kitchen.
