Dear Friends of MIU, 

As we conclude the year at Maharishi International University, I want to thank you, sincerely, for the support and encouragement you continue to share with our community. Your belief in MIU and in our mission has always been our foundation. 

In June I had the privilege of writing to you during our matching campaign, and I was truly touched by how many of you responded, not only with generous gifts, but with such heartfelt messages. Hearing from alumni, meditators, parents, and friends reaffirmed how deeply MIU has impacted lives. Thank you for that kindness and connection. 

Because of you, MIU continues to carry forward its mission, even while navigating real financial challenges. Because of you, lives are changing. And because of you, Consciousness-Based® education is reaching more students around the world, both on campus and through our expanding online programs. 

This year, we saw meaningful participation from alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff, and trustees. Together, we strengthened academic programs, expanded student support, elevated wellness initiatives, welcomed new students, and continued advancing our technology to meet the needs of a growing global learning community. 

Your Annual Fund gift is essential to sustaining this momentum. The Annual Fund supports: 

  • Scholarships for deserving students 
  • Faculty excellence and innovation 
  • Consciousness-Based student life and wellness programs 
  • A campus environment that fosters clarity and growth 
  • Expansion of our online programs, bringing the benefits of Consciousness-Based education to learners worldwide 

Every gift, whether large or modest, helps open doors for students and strengthens our shared mission. 

MIU is more than a university. It is a living demonstration of what becomes possible when education begins within, when stillness guides action, when knowledge is lived, and when community is rooted in higher purpose. It is our blessing and responsibility to protect and grow what is rare and precious. 

As the calendar year comes to a close, many donors choose to make their most meaningful gifts now, often aligning their giving with year-end tax benefits. If it aligns with your plans, we would be honored by your support. 

Thank you for your generosity, your belief in MIU, and your commitment to a more conscious and compassionate world. I am deeply grateful to be on this journey with you. 

With appreciation and warm regards, 

Keith Wallace, Ph.D. 

Founding President 

Maharishi International University

P.S. Many supporters choose to give securities, IRA charitable distributions, or other non- cash assets at year-end for meaningful tax benefits. If you would like assistance with stock transfers or planned giving options, our team is here to support you.
