Giving monthly supports Grinnell students daily

Your gift in support of Grinnell students can be just as easy as your monthly subscriptions for Amazon Prime, Hulu, or cell phone service. Monthly recurring gifts allow you to set your gift and forget about it by establishing an automatic debit to a credit/debit card or deduction from a bank account.

Recurring gifts mean that we always know we’re keeping our commitment, no matter what else is going on.”
