Want to
make a gift
to the GMES
department?
ALTHOUGH Michigan Tech is
a state institution, it receives
less than one-third of its
funding from state appropriation.
Your gift helps keep the
GMES department on the
cutting-edge.
There are three ways to give:
- Use Michigan Tech’s online gift form at
www.mtf.mtu.edu/giving
- Call the Michigan Tech Fund at 906-487-2310
- Mail a gift to the Michigan Tech Fund using the
enclosed envelope
In order to make sure 100 percent of your gift goes to the
GMES department, please specify GMES account #1325AO.
Many, many thanks!
Recognition of Alumni Investment in the Department
Those of you who invest in the
department really do make a
difference and the department truly
appreciates your generosity. The
department has added recognition
for those who designate their gifts
to the department.
Currently, Michigan Tech
recognizes you when your lifetime
giving reaches a certain level and
you are “inducted” into a gift
society. For those who have
designated their support to the
Department of Geological
Engineering and Sciences and/or
“our” students, the department, too,
will “induct” you into a department
gift society. This is just another
way the department can say
thanks to those who invest their
hard earned resources in us.
There are now five plaques in
the Geo “Hall of Fame” for each of
our gift societies. The department
recognizes several levels of lifetime
giving and each society is given a
geologic name.
The Native Copper Lifetime Gift
Society recognizes lifetime gifts of
$10,000 to $24,999
The Banded Iron Lifetime Gift
Society recognizes lifetime gifts of
$25,000 to $49,999,
The Gold Nugget Lifetime Gift
Society recognizes lifetime gifts of
$50,000 to $99,999,
The Black Gold Lifetime Gift
Society recognizes lifetime gifts of
$100,000 to $999,999
The Diamond Lifetime Gift
Society recognizes lifetime gifts of
$1 million or more.
In future communications we will
announce those “inducted” into the
gift societies. The department is
also preparing plaques to be sent
to the members in special
recognition of their support of the
department.
Michigan Tech also recognizes annual
gift levels with various clubs e.g., the
Presidents Club recognizes an annual gift
of $1000 to $2,499. Now the department
recognizes annual gifts, too. We will post
new names for the past fiscal year (July 1
to June 30) in a plaque located near the
lifetime giving plaques. The department
has given each annual gift club a geologic
name.
The clubs are
- the Lake Superior Basin Annual Gift
for an annual gift of $100 to $249
the Keweenawan Rift Annual Gift
for an annual gift of $250 to $499
< the Craton Annual Gift Club
recognizing an annual gift of
$499 to $999
the Pangaea Annual Gift Club
recognizing an annual gift of
$ 1,000 to $4,999
- the Whole Earth Annual Gift Club
recognizing an annual gift of
$5,000 and above.
We will publish the names of those in
the annual clubs.
There should be no doubt that your
generosity is appreciated by students
today and tomorrow.
