Gifts made during the calendar year that are acknowledged by the recipient institution and the form received by the MIHS Matching Grants to Universities Program within six months of the date of the gift.

The Eligible donor must sign the form. It is recommended that a copy be kept for your records.

Educational Institution - Upon receipt of the gift and form, the designated financial officer of the school verifies the contributor's information, completes Part B of the form, and signs. Mail the entire form with copy of check to:
