Donate
Your commitment helps bring diverse and extraordinary arts experiences to our community.
Each year, students and teachers travel across the region to the MSU Riley Center to experience world-class performing arts and enriched arts education and training. Your generous donation makes this possible.
Donations will be made through the Mississippi State University Foundation website and will be deposited directly into our foundation account provided Riley Center (312027) appears as the selected designation. Make your donation by completing the rest of the form in the link below.

Become a Volunteer
Join the Passionate Volunteer Staff and Be a Vital Part of Our Center's Success
Our volunteers do it all. This group of enthusiastic individuals helps with everything from ushering, scanning tickets, working concessions, operating elevators, working backstage, running spotlights, assisting with load-ins and load-outs for each show, and much more. The center could not operate without this incredibly devoted and committed group of people.
If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, please contact Ron Johnigan at 601.696.2241 or rjohnigan@riley.msstate.edu.
