Gift Types
Annual Fund (Unrestricted)
The stronger Pacific's Annual Fund, the better-equipped the University is to provide an excellent educational environment for students and to address the institution’s most urgent needs, such as financial aid, program enhancements, and special curricular and co-curricular initiatives. The Annual Fund is among Pacific's highest fundraising priorities. Each year the University reaches out to alumni, parents, friends, corporations, foundations and other organizations to help enrich and strengthen the current resources of the campus. For information on making a gift to the Annual Fund, please contact Kelly Elliott, Director of Annual Giving, at 503-352-2892 or send an email to kelliott@pacificu.edu.
Restricted Gifts
You may also designate your gift to benefit one or more specific projects of your choosing.
Planned Gifts
By making provisions through their estate plans, donors are able to create gifts that continue well beyond their own lives, leaving a legacy that will make a difference to generations of future Pacific University students. Known commonly as "planned gifts," such expressions of generosity and foresight are easy to implement. Planned gifts provide specific tax advantages to donors and may also include lifetime income for them or others, while providing a major gift for Pacific University. Among the many options are charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder unitrusts, and life estate agreements. For more information or assistance in making a gift through your estate, contact Jan Stricklin, Associate Vice President for University Relations, at 503-352-2211 or send an email to jstricklin@pacificu.edu.
