Types of Gifts

What Your Gift Supports: From scholarships to new facilities, your gift helps students succeed and ensures MTSU continues to thrive.

Annual Gifts

Annual Gifts are recurring, repeatable gifts that support the current operations of the University. Annual gifts provide immediate, flexible support for students, faculty, and programs and may be made to any gift fund in a department, college, or to the University’s Annual Fund.

Endowment Gifts

Create a lasting legacy by establishing or contributing to an endowed fund. Endowment Gifts to the main endowment of the MTSU Foundation or to individually created endowment funds are permanently invested by the MTSU Foundation. A portion of the investment return is provided each year for the endowment’s designated purpose, and the remaining earnings are added to the principal of the fund for growth.

Capital Gifts

Help fund new and renovated buildings, labs, and facilities across campus.

Gifts in Kind

Donate equipment, books, art, or other tangible items that directly benefit our students and programs.

Stock Gifts

Stock Gifts may be used to fund annual gifts, endowments, or capital projects.

Planned or Deferred Gifts

Leave a legacy through your estate with a will bequest, trust, life insurance policy, retirement account, or real estate gift.
