Memorials and Tribute Gifts
Honor Someone Special With a Future Gift in Their Name
If you have a loved one who has been impacted by Claremont Graduate University, establishing a memorial or tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor your loved one or celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday while supporting the work of our mission. Your memorial or tribute gift will be a lasting tribute to your loved one and make a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Imagine the Following Scenario
You knew you wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for your dad when he passed away. You remembered that during his lifetime, he was always praising CGU for its tireless efforts to better his community.
You decide to make a gift to CGU in your father's name using appreciated securities. Not only will their legacy live on at CGU but you also receive a federal income tax charitable deduction (because you itemize your taxes) and eliminate capital gains tax on the securities.
