WHY GIVE?
Because the impact is regional, local, personal — and lasting.
A gift to the Shaping Our Future Campaign is more than a donation. It’s an investment that has an impact far beyond the walls of the university. It’s an investment in transforming Michigan: In less than half a century, we’ve graduated more than 63,000 teachers, scientists, entrepreneurs, public administrators, health care practitioners, parents, and neighbors. In fact 85 percent of our alumni live, study, or work in Michigan. Meet just a few of our successes… It’s an investment in the region: The region’s economic growth and quality of life are all enhanced by GVSU’s activities. Every year, as the region's largest university, GVSU partners with other organizations to address math education, the growth of small businesses, the needs of the aging, nutrition for the homeless, and dozens of other concerns. More about GVSU’s impact on the region… It’s an opportunity to enhance an amazing education. With a focus on the liberal arts and a strong faculty, GVSU puts a great education—and a great future—within reach. Shaping the Future will help GVSU expand two recent initiatives to the next level and support faculty, as well as the student experience. It’s an opportunity to further a national model. Ranked among the top midwestern universities, Grand Valley is a model for public universities: efficiently run, innovative, committed to students, and involved in the region. ![]() Rendering of the Learning and Informations Commons
