Senior Challenge is about honoring the support fellow alumni have provided to us, bringing together our class, and making the first of a lifetime of tangible commitments to the larger community of Grinnellians.

Alumni, parents, and friends demonstrate their ownership of their Grinnell experience by maintaining their relationship with and making gifts to Grinnell. Senior Challenge is an opportunity for us to demonstrate our ownership. Financial and personal support increases Grinnell's ability to provide activities, facilities, staff, faculty, and services for all Grinnellians.

When 50% of the Class of 2010 participates in Senior Challenge, the Alumni Council will match each donor with a $5 gift. When participation reaches 70% the matches increase to $10 per donor, and an additional $750 capstone gift is made 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. Read more about the history of Senior Challenge here.
