From the Grinnell College Alumni Association Council

Every graduating senior who gives makes a huge impact on Grinnell College. When 50% of the Class of 2008 participates in the Challenge, the Alumni Association Council will match each gift by $5 per donor. When participation reaches 70% the Alumni Association Council matches each gift by $10, and will give an additional $750 in honor of our class. At 90% this gift increases to $1500! The record for participation is 87.2%, held by the class of 1996.

When you give, you have the opportunity to recognize someone who has made a difference in your Grinnell experience. A card will be sent to the person you designate which lets them know that you've given to the Grinnell Pioneer Fund in their honor, in appreciation for their support during your time at Grinnell.
