Giving Back

Types of Gifts

Annual Giving

Annual unrestricted gifts are the backbone of Seaver College giving. These critical gifts bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the actual cost of a Pepperdine education and are directed to the areas of greatest need at Seaver College.

Annual gifts to the Pepperdine Fund range in size between $10 and $50,000 each year. For more information, see our giving clubs.

Estate and Gift Planning

Planned gifts may be arranged through a will, trusts, insurance, annuities, or the University's donor advised fund. Donors can avoid capital gains tax by the effective use of charitable gifts, while receiving a deduction for the fair market value of the contribution on the date the gift is made.

Real Estate

Gifts of Property are accepted, provided they comply with the real estate policy of the University.

Gifts-In-Kind

A donor might consider a gift-in-kind, e.g., artwork, books, furnishings, or equipment, provided they comply with the policy of the University.

Securities

Gifts of stocks and bonds can offer special charitable opportunities for donors. However, prospective donors should consult with professional advisors and university staff prior to making such gifts.
