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
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.

Amber QuastJasper CEO Class of 2015
The first semester of CEO has been beyond amazing. I have learned so much about myself and others. Visiting businesses around Jasper County has opened my eyes and shocked me over and over again. I have met so many amazing people through CEO. I feel that I have grown up so much over the past four months and I wouldn’t change my experience for anything.

Katelyn HardiekJasper CEO Class of 2015
The CEO class is teaching me a whole new approach to life: the entrepreneurial approach.

Anne WesselCEO Student
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.

Employer Matching Gifts
Many employers match their employees’ gifts to charitable organizations. Some companies will match the gifts of employee spouses and retired employees as well. Please inquire with your human resources or benefits office for more information.
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. For more information on gift planning, please call Conni Cash at 872-356-6433.
