GVSU’s Faculty and Staff Campaign runs through February 28 and offers one more way for the Laker community to show up and support our students. 

Faculty and staff can direct their gifts to any university fund that inspires them, including scholarships, athletics, student resources and more. 

“GVSU faculty and staff truly lead by example,” said Katrina Begrow, annual giving manager of Campus Philanthropy. “Their generosity fuels opportunities for students and strengthens the sense of community that makes Grand Valley so special.” 

Grand Valley has outshined national benchmarks during employee giving and results are historically well above peer averages.

Visit the campaign page to make a gift and learn more about matching gift opportunities that can make your dollars go even farther. 

Still not convinced your participation makes a difference? Students in the accompanying video express just how much faculty and staff mean to them.

— Anna Davis is the assistant director of annual giving and digital strategy for University Development.
