Dear Friends and Prospective Donors,
Disabilities of all types can provide challenges that initially seem insurmountable. How we define ourselves, the actions we take, and who we meet along the way define what we become. Disability creates a difference that can either shut people down or stimulate growth and success. Thousands of success stories start here at MSU and we welcome your help. We are a community of students, staff, donors and friends welcoming ambitious people with accessibility, scholarship, experiential learning, and ultimately career and life success. We grow possibility and redefine disability from inability to challenges that demand creativity and effort toward leadership.
We Request Your Partnership
Leadership in advancing ability and opportunity involves a drive to do better. Donors help us welcome students with innovative programming, scholarships and staffing. We ask you to join Team RCPD with an investment. Working together, there is much to celebrate yet more to accomplish. We welcome a chance to discuss your ideas about how we can collaborate to make a difference in the lives of ambitious Spartans.
Celebrating Donors
Featured prominently in the reception area, the Tree of Giving displays community and investment toward life success. It is a message of ability for students and families arriving at MSU with real challenges, vivid hopes, and great potential. We recognize contributors with inscribed leaves, rocks, and acorns.
Donation milestones (subject to change):
- Brass leaf: $750
- Silver leaf: $2,500
- Acorn: Expendable donation at the current MSU endowed fund level
- Small rock: Establishment of a new endowment
- Large rock: $100,000
Each of our signature programs began as an idea. If you would like to help us advance, we invite you to share: rcpd@msu.edu, 517-884-RCPD (7273)
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." - Helen Keller
