Giving to Pepperdine
Why Make a Gift?
Annual gifts strengthen academic programs, enhance library and technology services, attract distinguished faculty, maintain a quality-learning environment, fund student organizations, and provide financial aid to students. In short, the Annual Fund increases the quality and reputation of Pepperdine University—therefore, all students, past and present, have benefited from the Annual Fund.
One of the reasons that your participation is so important is that when foundations and corporations are deciding whether to award Pepperdine grants, they look at the number of alumni and family members who contribute to the Annual Fund as a factor to help them make their decisions. So a modest gift from you would actually translate into helping the University receive millions of dollars!
Also, many students, alumni, and friends do not realize that full tuition pays only two-thirds of the cost of their Pepperdine education. The other one-third is paid for with the help of the Annual Fund.
Your first donation to the Annual Fund will put you on the mailing list for Pepperdine People magazine and the University’s Annual Report. In addition, your name will be printed in the Pepperdine University Honor Roll of Donors as a financial supporter of the University.
