Dear Friend,

You gave. MIU is still here. Those two facts are not unrelated.

I have been part of this University since its founding. I have watched teachers turn down better-paying offers at conventional universities, year after year, decade after decade, because what they do here cannot be done anywhere else on earth.

Consciousness-Based Education® is not simply a curriculum. It represents a different understanding of what a human being is and what education can be. It is something unique to MIU. And generation after generation of faculty and staff have chosen to stay because they believe deeply in that mission.

They were not always compensated in proportion to the value of that commitment. We are determined to change that.

Building a Foundation for the Next 100 Years

We have launched The Next 100 Years, a $100 million endowment campaign designed to make MIU permanently, structurally, and invincibly secure.

The goal is bigger than meeting today’s needs. It is about creating a financial foundation that allows MIU to thrive for generations to come — less dependent on annual appeals and less vulnerable to the economic pressures of any particular year.

Endowed. Sustainable. Invincible.

When this endowment is fully established, MIU will have the strength and stability to focus on its mission and its future with greater confidence.

Your Gift Makes a Difference Today — and for Generations to Come

The endowment is the horizon. Your support today helps us reach it.

The first $1 million raised helps address the faculty salary gap and recognize the extraordinary commitment of the professors and long-serving staff members who have devoted their careers to MIU.

The next $9 million supports essential University operations, helping sustain our academic programs, student commitments, and institutional responsibilities.

Every dollar raised beyond $10 million flows directly and permanently into the endowment.

Your gift therefore does two important things at once: it strengthens MIU today and helps build the financial foundation that will sustain MIU for the next 100 years and beyond.

Unrestricted Giving: Where Your Gift Is Needed Most

Some donors choose to give without restrictions, trusting MIU to direct their generosity where it can make the greatest difference.

We take that trust seriously.

An unrestricted gift gives the University flexibility to respond to its most important needs — including faculty compensation, student support, essential operations, and financial reserves that allow MIU to plan confidently for the future.

If you want your gift to go where it is needed most, an unrestricted gift is one of the most meaningful ways to support MIU.

Be Part of The Next 100 Years

MIU’s future will be shaped by the people who believe in its mission today.

Your generosity can help preserve what makes MIU unique, strengthen the University today, and create a lasting foundation for generations of students, faculty, and practitioners to come.

Together, we can build an MIU that is here — and thriving — for the next 100 years.
