1. Commitment to NAIA Compliance
Grand View University is committed and obligated to the principle of
institutional control in operating its athletics program in a manner
that is consistent with the letter and the spirit of the NAIA, Heart
of America Conference, and college rules and regulations. All Athletic
Club members are considered representatives of athletic interest and
are subject to NAIA rules and regulations.
Head Coaching Position Endowment
The endowment of a head coaching position provides important
resources to subsidize the salary for that coach. It also provides
additional funds to enhance excellence in that sport.
Travel Fund Endowment
To remain competitive on the national scene, many teams must travel
to distant competitions. This is increasingly expensive. A designated
travel fund endowment will assist with special travel opportunities.
Gift-in-Kind
Gifts or services can be donated to the athletic department (e.g.,
printing, catering, office supplies). The value of your gift will be
credited to your name, and you can receive a tax deduction for the
contribution.
Corporate Sponsorships
Grand View University offers a wide variety of sponsorship
opportunities allowing you to partner with a respected institution
and promote your business. For more information, contact
Brian Patterson at bpatterson@grandview.edu or Britt Erps

and financial support for GV’s 25 sports, helping to provide rewarding, memorable,
