Scarlet and Give Back Day


Today is the second annual Scarlet and Give Back Day at Grinnell College.  All current and former Pioneers are encouraged to give back today, in any amount.  We can make a general gift, to the Pioneer Fund, or direct it towards any program, including athletics or football.  As a bonus, if we reach 2000 unique donors today, an anonymous donor will give an additional $1 million!  Let's get it done!

The College has seen a recent uptick in giving, thanks in part to the leadership of Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations Shane Jacobson.  A tireless worker and effective communicator, Shane has re-energized DAR and has engaged our former student-athletes in a way that hadn't been done before.  I believe we'll see even more of this in the future, and it's an opportunity for us to continue to lead the way for Grinnell College.

Please join me in making a one-time gift, in any amount directed in any way you choose, to help us on our way towards 2000 gifts.  Thanks!  #GCPride
