Donate your Birthday to the MSU Foundation!

Using Facebook’s fundraising tool, you can now donate your birthday to a non-profit charity! When you Donate Your Birthday to support the women in our programs, YOU are committing to engage with them on a deeper level because you are inviting your community of friends and family to see what is on your heart. That is HUGE and, for that, we are beyond grateful!
