A gift to Michigan Lutheran Seminary is a powerful way to impact the lives of our students, as well as to recognize someone you love or care about.
What’s an honorarium? Honorariums are gifts given in “honor” of a living person. Honorariums can honor someone special for a birthday, anniversary or special occasion. Perhaps you’d like to honor a parent who was committed to Christian education, an MLS graduate or a teacher who had a meaningful impact on your life. You will receive a gift thank you letter for your honorarium and, if you desire, we will send an acknowledgement (gift amount not listed) to the person you are honoring.
What’s a memorial? Memorials are gifts given in “memory” of someone who has died. Memorials are a powerful statement about the value of Christian education and the legacy of a loved one called to their heavenly home. You will receive a gift thank you letter for your memorial and, if you desire, we will send an acknowledgement (gift amount not listed) to those you wish us to notify.
How are memorials and honorariums used? Memorials and honorariums can be directed for any purpose you desire including MLS Foundation long term endowment, student assistance, named scholarship funds, areas of academics or music or other designated projects. If no designation is selected, gifts are used for student assistance.
Who may I contact if I have questions? Don’t hesitate to contact Josh Wakefield with any questions. You can call him at 989-793-7511 or email him at jrw@mlsem.org.
