Development Office
The Development Office at Wartburg College is dedicated to building meaningful partnerships with alumni, parents, and friends who share a commitment to the college’s mission and future.
Through the generous support of our donors, we are able to provide life-changing scholarships, enhance academic programs, and invest in state-of-the-art facilities that empower our students to thrive. Every gift — large or small — has a lasting impact, opening doors of opportunity and helping shape the next generation of leaders.
We invite you to be part of this transformative journey and join us in advancing Wartburg’s legacy of excellence.
The education I received at Wartburg greatly influenced me in the areas of worldview, faith, and responsibility to community. Funding a scholarship keeps me connected to campus and lets me be part of Wartburg’s ongoing mission.”
