Giving to Pitzer

Annual Leadership Giving Levels

Pitzer College recognizes its generous annual donors with exclusive benefits provided through the College's Leadership Giving Circles. Funds raised through these giving circles are dedicated to supporting the College's top priorities. These funds are used to support financial aid, faculty excellence and other critical areas that have elevated Pitzer's ranking, making it one of the top private liberal arts colleges in the nation.

As part of their special relationship with the College, members are invited to enjoy the tremendous wealth of campus resources and attend cultural and social events throughout the year. Additionally, through small-group gatherings with high-level college officials, members will learn first-hand of the campus' emerging challenges and significant accomplishments during this time of growth.
