Luther College’s 10th Annual Giving Day Raises Over $1.2 million

The 10th Annual Luther College “Giving Day” on Thursday (03.06), set a new record by fundraising more than $1.2 million. 

Donations and contributions will support and enhance the Luther Fund, the college’s unrestricted current fund that supports all students, faculty, staff and community endeavors on campus.

Luther President Brad Chamberlain said, “For the tenth year in a row, the Luther College community has shown the strength of our commitment to each other and to the value of Luther’s ongoing impact on their lives. Once again, friends and alumni from all 50 states and 17 countries around the world contributed to a record-setting Giving Day. We are grateful to all who participated, either through sharing their Luther story or making a contribution.”

Giving Day capped off “Luther Gives,” a weeklong campus event celebrating the generosity of Luther alumni, donors and campus community. Students wrote thank you notes to donors who funded their scholarships, sent Norse Notes Valentines to anyone on campus who made a difference in their lives, and posted reasons they love Luther on the walls of the Dahl Centennial Union. 

This year’s Giving Day also included Luther Day at The Landing Market in Decorah, where 100% of all sales made from Justin’s, the Buzz. and Tandem on Thursday was matched by an additional gift to the Luther Fund.
