Matching gifts may be applied toward membership qualifications. Matching gift forms generally are available from an employer's personnel or public relations office. A membership invitation will be issued upon receiving the gift or when the Ball State University Foundation receives the pledge card with the first pledge payment. The principal benefit of membership in the Fellows Society is the satisfaction of supporting Ball State University as it assumes a leadership role in higher education. Membership reflects the spirit of Ball State's beloved landmark, Beneficence .
Membership provides the university an extra measure of strength and flexibility.
