MEMORIALS & HONORARIUMS
Contributions can be made to the MEF in memory or in honor of a special person. This is a great way to honor educators who have played a special role at MISD. When submitting your memorial, please send the name of the person to memorialize or honor, and who should be notified of the gift (honoree, family members, etc.). We will post all memorials and honorariums on our website and in our Stars Banquet Program Book along with sending out a letter to the donor and the recipient or recipient's family.

PLANNED GIVING
Planned giving is when a donor can leave money or assets to a nonprofit upon his/her death or a way to invest money so the donor receives benefits during his/her life and then bequeaths the remaining funds to the nonprofit. If you are interested in learning more about planned giving, please contact our offices, as we can help provide you with more information.
