What is the Pioneer Fund?
Grinnell College needs $3.045 million in gifts from alumni, parents, and friends to fully fund the year. The Pioneer Fund sustains Grinnell’s most importat resource — its people. Programs prepare students for lives we cannot yet imagine for them. The Pioneer Fund collects gifts from alumni, friends, parents, students, faculty, staff, corporations, and others. Grinnell College is a non-profit organization, reliant on philanthropy to cover the remaining 2/3 of costs not covered by net tuition and fees.
