Celebrate 10 Years of Scarlet & Give Back Day! 🎈
The Grinnell community has come together each year on Scarlet & Give Back Day to raise a total of $9.4 million. These funds provide crucial support for our students as they explore their passions, unlock their potential, and go forth to make a lasting impact on the world.
You’re invited to join us this Scarlet & Give Back Day as we celebrate 10 years of creating opportunities for students to excel —academically, extracurricularly, and in their personal and professional lives. The size of your gift doesn’t matter — what’s important is that you GIVE! Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a difference and can have an even greater impact thanks to exciting challenges and matches that amplify support for our students.
Together, we will help ensure that the Grinnell experience — from innovative teaching and personal mentorship to research opportunities and career exploration — remains a reality for current and future students.
NEW CHALLENGE ANNOUNCED: To keep the momentum going, the Board of Trustees is offering a challenge. Trustees will contribute an additional $197,000 if we reach a total of 2,500 donors by 5 p.m. CT today.
