Since 1895, the generosity of our alumni and friends has helped Graceland University become a leader in higher education. Building on our heritage and values, focusing on the needs of students, and preparing graduates for professional success and meaningful lives, every donation ensures we send out Gracelanders who create the positive changes we need in our world.

The power of together means it takes each one of us to fulfill the mission of Graceland to create learning communities where students develop their potential for meaningful and productive lives. Thank you for your unwavering support of Graceland and our students. We gratefully acknowledge those who have partnered with us to provide a strong liberal art learning environment—at our main residential campus in Lamoni, our Independence campus and through our online programs. Your commitment to philanthropy today means our students can do more with their tomorrow.

Thank you!
