Annual Giving Opportunities

Meet the Greatest Need

Make an Immediate Impact

Every gift makes a difference, no matter the size. Annual gifts fill the gap, allow students to pursue their dreams, and make the most of their MNU experience. When Pioneers come together to meet the greatest need, real transformation happens in the lives of MNU students.

Annual gifts make an immediate impact. They have a powerful effect – this week, this month, this year. Your support helps to fuel new academic initiatives and programs, enhances campus life, and provides vital scholarship support for students. Every gift helps MNU continue to be a place where anyone can thrive, regardless of their financial circumstances.

Make a Sustained Impact

When you donate to MNU through our recurring gift program, you demonstrate the heart of what it means to be a Pioneer for Life. Pioneers address the most relevant needs and there sow a seed with dreams of how far and wide their impact will grow.

Join this special community of recurring supporters whose seeds sustain educational journeys, reveal students’ passions, and equip tomorrow’s leaders.

Multiply your Impact

Many companies and corporate foundations encourage their employees’ philanthropic efforts by matching their contributions to non-profit organizations such as MidAmerica Nazarene University. Some companies will even match the donations made by retirees and/or spouses, gifts of volunteering, or offer payroll deduction. In most cases, MidAmerica receives dollar-for-dollar matches. But in some cases, the company’s match doubles or triples the employee’s gift. Use the search bar below to see if your gift is eligible for employer matching!
