Reunion Giving

Why Give During Reunion Year

Whether you can attend Reunion or not, your gift has the power to shape Grinnell’s future.

Giving during your Reunion year:

  • Enhances student experiences on and off campus
  • Amplifies the impact of your class
  • Strengthens the force of alumni giving

Honor your class. Support current students. Leave a legacy.

Two circle graphs in the middle of the page show 25% of gifts and 15% of Alumni donors from Fiscal Year 2025 came from Reunion 2025 Classes.

Direct Your Gift

You Choose Where It Matters Most

Each class committee identified giving priorities — but you can direct your gift to any area of the College that holds personal meaning to you.

Popular priorities include:

  • Pioneer Fund
  • Scholarships & Financial Aid
  • Faculty & Academic Programs
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
  • Study Abroad & Global Learning
