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
"I want to get an inside look at local businesses. I plan on attending SIU Edwardsville for a business degree, and when I graduate, I want to manage my parents’ business, Pyramid Marble and Granite. I think this class has endless opportunities. It could open new doors for my career and life. I am blessed to reside in a town where the CEO teachers and business owners are willing to invest their time, money, and knowledge into this program. I know CEO will help prepare me for my future."

Megan BrandtCEO 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.

Chris PitcherJasper CEO Class of 2015
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.

Jordan MammoserJasper CEO Class of 2015
I think the biggest thing CEO has taught me is how to be a student of life--to be constantly changing and evolving in both knowledge and character. The program continues to instill in me an understanding about the reality of business and what it is to learn in the presence of failure.

CEO isn’t just a class; it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I am honored to be a part of.

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.
