Make a Gift

Your gift matters

Your investment in the Debbie and Jerry Ivy College of Business will help support students, faculty, and programs that prepare the next generation of business leaders. Private support from alumni and friends has helped the college achieve historical rankings, extraordinary placement rates, establishment of new innovative programs and research that help Iowa and the world. While our students and faculty dream big, it is support from donors that helps make it possible!

On September 11, 2017, Jerry Ivy (’53 industrial administration) and his wife, Debbie (’19 honorary alumna), announced their historic $50 million pledge to the College of Business, which has since been named the Debbie and Jerry Ivy College of Business.

“That was an amazing day,” recalled Raisbeck Endowed Dean David Spalding. “So many positive things have happened since that announcement was made.”

Alejandro Miranda

With donor support, I can be more involved at Iowa State and gain experience from clubs and organizations. I do not have to worry about working a full-time or getting a second job.
