This Giving Tuesday, please consider helping us fund programs that prepare students for lifelong civic and social responsibility. 


Our Community Engagement Scholars Program provides students and community organizations with the opportunity to partner for at least one full academic year on a community/economic development project.  The CESP cohort also meets monthly to learn about teambuilding, leadership, DEI, and much more.

Give here to help fund additional scholar opportunities in Flint, Lansing, Detroit, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids: $5,000 funds one scholar for a full academic year!


In memory of Spartan Don Ausman, the Don Ausman Alternative Break Endowment Fund will offer travel scholarships to students who wish to serve communities around the globe on their school breaks. Don, who passed away at age 22, gave freely of his time with communities in the United States, Africa, and Mexico. Help us keep Don’s spirit alive by supporting students who have the same commitment to community engagement.

Give here to help send MSU students on Alternative Breaks in the United States and around the world.


Thank you for considering a gift to our programs--you are an important part of strengthening our communities and making the world a more equitable place!
