Competitive Excellence Fund

Competitive Excellence Fund Graphic

The newly launched Competitive Excellence Fund is designed to maintain and elevate the standard of MSU Athletics in the new collegiate landscape. Contributions to this fund allow the department to address the greatest need at any particular time, across any program, sport, or department initiative. The non-restrictive nature of the fund allows for the operational flexibility and strategic decision making necessary to adapt to the dynamic demands of college athletics.

"Looking ahead, it is crucial we direct our focus towards areas of greatest need and that provide operational flexibility, allowing for continued competitive excellence across all sports. Doing so positions us for success now and into the future."
—Jacob Kirkham, Spartan Fund Executive Sr. Associate AD of Development
