Matching Passion for MNU with Generosity

Featured Projects

The Wall Family sign with a group of people posed around it.

You can buy a piece of MNU’s history. The Land Gymnasium is becoming the Sports Performance Center for MNU Athletics. As such, the gym floor is being removed and sold in pieces.

If you played basketball, volleyball, cheered, yelled, or went crazy in Land Gym, this moment is yours.

Purchase a 1’x1′ section and frame it or turn it into a chessboard. Buy a 3’x3′ piece and transform it into a side table. The possibilities are endless, but this opportunity isn’t.

The sale ended on Friday, June 13, 2025. Please get in touch with MNU Athletics at athletics@mnu.edu or 913-971-3278 to inquire about a waiting list. 

Matching your generosity with your passion for MNU has never been easier!

MNU’s Support the Projects initiative identifies meaningful areas of campus need and why they are worthy of your support. Explore the ways to create a life-changing experience for an MNU student, today and beyond.

Scholarships
  • Bless an MNU student with a Christ-centered education. 98% of MNU’s students rely on some form of financial assistance to pursue their degree. Many of our students credit their success in the classroom and after graduation to the scholarship support.

Experiential Learning
  • Enrich a student’s life with experiential learning. Each Wednesday on MNU’s campus is dedicated to relational, experiential, and integrative learning.
