Thank You!

Thank you to the 3,064 donors who invested in Grinnell College and its students by making a gift on Scarlet & Give Back Day! We have once again surpassed our highest expectations, raising $772,001.22 to support the teaching and learning of Grinnellians.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mike and Linda Powers '67 for supporting this effort with their challenge to the College community. Their inspiring commitment, combined with the generous support of all who give to Grinnell, is vital to the College’s ability to prepare Grinnellians to do good in our ever changing world.
