Endowed Gifts
Your Gift Can Last Forever
An endowment gift to Claremont Graduate University today provides a brighter picture for our future. When you make a donation to our endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.
Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at CGU. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.
Imagine the Following Scenario
You and your spouse or partner are longtime supporters of the university and have two goals. First, you want to make sure CGU continues to receive support after you both are gone. Second, you want to memorialize your partner's parents.
You decide to make a $25,000 donation to CGU, which we invest, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support our mission in honor of your partner's parents. Plus, you and your partner qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on your taxes.
