Did You Know?

Less than 18% of the Grand Valley State University operating budget is provided by the state. Supporting GVSU with an annual gift allows you a tangible way to show your support and it helps create strong connections to campus.
Being a Laker for a Lifetime means that you step up to give and serve and to make a positive impact on your community and society. At some point in your life, someone lent you a helping hand.There are students who need that help now. Your gift will help them to succeed and in turn help others in their own time!
