Capital Campaign
Help Complete the Vision
The opening of the Hall of Ideas will mark a major milestone in Midland Center’s transformation. With $47.3 million committed toward the $53.1 million project, approximately $5.8 million remains to complete the final phase.
Your campaign gift helps finish the spaces where students will learn, our community will gather and local history will be cared for. It also supports accessibility improvements and the building systems the Center depends on every day.
Give online or contact our Development team to discuss a multi-year pledge, stock transfer or naming opportunity.
