Donor Recognition

Because of you, Luther students have opportunities to learn, grow, discover, and thrive. We are deeply grateful to the alumni, parents and families, faculty, staff, and friends whose generosity brings Luther’s mission to life. Every gift matters, and we are honored to celebrate and stay connected with donors through meaningful recognition, special communications, event invitations, and opportunities to engage more deeply with the life of the college throughout the year.

“As Luther alum and longtime local business owners, we understand the unique bond that the Luther community has with the Decorah community and vice versa. Working together and supporting each other is a perfect formula to achieve Luther’s and the Decorah community’s long-term goals.”

“We believe deeply in the value of a liberal arts education. Luther College was foundational to my growth, and is a community that continues to leave an indelible mark on my life. We are proud to give back to Luther College in the hopes that we can be a small part in providing that same experience to others.”
