About

Scarlet & Give Back Day Returns!

Your Scarlet & Give Back Day gift passes the baton to current and future Grinnellians. Those who care, strive, work for good, and innovate for the future. Students who will go on to become active, thoughtful citizens, and go forth with impact.  

Join us for Scarlet & Give Back Day on April 10-11, 2024, or make a gift now to double your impact! An anonymous member of the class of 1974 will match every gift to Grinnell College dollar-for-dollar up to $500,000! You direct your gift to the fund or program meaningful to you; the matching gift donor will direct an equal amount where they find meaning.
