Why Give

Giving is a personal decision. Whether you are making an unrestricted gift to the Mount Mercy Fund, supporting student scholarships or making a transformational gift to the University, giving to MMU makes an incredible impact on our students and community.

I want people to know that going to Mount Mercy truly will inspire you to do great things. That’s why I give back.
