Donate to the Marion E. Wade Center

The Wade Center is self-funded and largely supported by its endowment, with the remaining portion of our operating budget dependent upon donations. The financial support we receive helps determine how well and how often we can provide free access to our facility, resources, services, and programming.

What Your Gift Supports

We invite you to financially partner with us in our pursuit of cultural engagement and spiritual formation by becoming a Friend of the Wade. Together, we can continue to promote our seven authors' enduring and distinctive blend of intellect, imagination, and faith in a variety of ways to audiences of all ages.

Our Friends of the Wade program recognizes anyone who meets one or more of the following:

• Gives a monthly or annual financial gift to the Wade of any amount
• Has given more than $25,000 in total to the Wade
• Has informed us that the Wade Center is in their estate plan 

As a Friend, you will receive our print newsletter twice per year (past issues are available to read online). You may also receive advance notices of the Wade Center news or events, personalized tours of the facility, and discounts where applicable. All gifts are acknowledged with a receipt as a tax-deductible gift to Wheaton College.
