Reunion Giving

Invest in the future with Class Gifts.

Each year, MICDS alumni bring new life to the longstanding tradition of giving back in honor of their own reunions. The Class Gift is your opportunity to show support for MICDS as a class while striving to reach new heights, with both the amount raised and with the highest class participation. Everyone who is celebrating a reunion this year is being asked to honor this celebratory year by making a special class gift, hopefully in the form of a multi-year commitment.

Multi-Year Giving Commitments – The Power of 5!

Multi-year giving commitments allow MICDS to look beyond the present and plan for a vibrant future for our students. Gifts made over five years allow smaller gifts to add up quickly, and the entire amount will count in your Reunion Class Gift total:

Commitment: In celebration of your Reunion, make your MICDS Fund commitment today and fulfill it over five years.
Convenience: You can schedule monthly or annual charges to your credit card.
Consistency: MICDS can rely on your continued MICDS Fund support until your next Reunion.
Efficiency: Expenses saved by not sending solicitations over the years will be redirected to student and faculty needs.
Impact: There is no required dollar amount, and each gift makes A HUGE and IMMEDIATE IMPACT!

50th and 25th Reunion Gifts

A history of milestone reunion gifts.

MICDS has a proud tradition of philanthropy, and milestone reunions are a special opportunity to give back. In honor of their 25th and 50th reunions, these classes are invited to make a reunion class gift. This gift may support an endowed fund established by the class or contribute to the MICDS Fund, which provides vital support for the School’s ongoing operations. These generous contributions help ensure that future generations of students benefit from the exceptional education and experiences that define MICDS.
