Once an alumnus makes a donation in the fiscal year, they are considered an active donor. Possible thank yous can include:

• Auto: Thank you for your commitment and continued support.
• Swing: Thank you for renewing your support; thank you for partnering with Grinnell this year.

Stewardship efforts beyond your own:

• Phonathon: a "thank you" call from student who previously called for gift or pledge.
• Student thank you postcard: a postcard handwritten and signed by a student.
• Staff thank you note: A thank you note or letter from a College staff
