Why Give to the Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship?
Every gift made to the Institute makes a difference and directly effects students all across the CEO network.
Our goal is to transplant the CEO Program across the United States. With your help, we are able to provide additional opportunities for CEO students.
Student Testimonials
The CEO class has taught me how to be a more beneficial and efficient leader for our community. In addition, it has brought many exciting learning experiences and has given me a better outlook for the future of myself being involved in the community. Not all businesses come in a can, a business must adapt to its marketing area with supply and demand.
CEO is not just a typical routine class, it is a class that gives deep meaningful life lesson and completely changes you. It is the foundation of who you want be and what you want to accomplish.
From local business visits to planning the class business, I have learned so much from various advice and our own experiences; the good and bad. I went from being a regular high school kid to a future entrepreneur envisioning my own business. Without CEO it would not have been possible.
This class has changed me so much I forget how I used to be. It has changed how I think, communicate, and how I handle people. I never would have thought I would be able to talk to business people as I do. CEO has changed my entire outlook on life and I am very grateful for that.
The amount of networking and general life skills that I have acquired from this class astound me. Before, I would be a little hesitant to talk to a stranger, but now I can go up to anyone no matter who they are and successfully carry a conversation. The opportunities that have been opened to me just from that aspect alone have made this class worthwhile.

Gift Planning
Whether you want to support our mission today or design a plan that benefits students after your lifetime, you can feel good knowing that you are shaping the future. Once called "deferred giving" or "planned giving", gift planning refers to any charitable gift that requires more thought and planning to execute than the average donation.
