Our team supports the needs and priorities of the University through annual, major and planned giving programs. We function as a close-knit team, working together to build strong relationships that will ultimately benefit Mount Mercy's dedicated and hard-working students.

We also help the University raise the funds needed for daily campus operations and major projects, such as University Center and Plaza & Walk.

We encourage you to stop by our offices or contact us directly with your questions.
