Class Fund Director

Class fund directors (CFDs) play a significant role for their classes as peer-to-peer development officers helping the College achieve its strategic goals by generating financial support.

The ultimate goal of a CFD is to create a relationship with classmates that enhances and deepens the class’s philanthropic relationship with the College. The work of the CFD, in concert with development staff at the College, is to increase participation as measured by percentage of classmates giving and dollars contributed.

Responsibilities of a CFD

  • Demonstrate personal commitment by giving to Grinnell every year.
  • Ask classmates to give to Grinnell.
  • Thank classmates for giving to Grinnell.
  • Actively participate on the class committee by attending Reunion Planning Weekend and assisting with Reunion planning efforts for your class.
