By supporting the Pitzer Annual Fund, you empower Pitzer students to dream boldly, lead with purpose, and rise to meet today’s most complex challenges. Behind each success story is a strong foundation of support enhanced by your contribution today. 

The Four Pillars of the Annual Fund

The Pitzer Annual Fund sustains critical components of the holistic student experience, from access to career opportunities and more. Gifts may be directed to the following causes: 

Your support provides robust financial aid to attract the best and brightest to attend Pitzer, regardless of economic background. With your support, students' reliance on other outside funding sources diminish, enabling them to focus more deeply on their education with the removal of financial strain. 

 

Over the past decade, your gifts have assisted hundreds of students with urgent needs like educational materials, family emergencies, and medical expenses; especially critical today as economic pressures and global uncertainties create unique challenges for students. 

A vital component of student success, your support of these programs helps Pitzer serve hundreds of students each semester through case management, therapy referrals, co-pay assistance, and weekly wellness programming. 

Philanthropic contributions here drive stipend support for students pursuing unpaid or underfunded internships and research opportunities that facilitate career exploration and the development of professional skills and networks.

"As an Additional Intervention Peer Mentor for the IRC’s Newcomer Youth Summer Academy, I worked alongside staff and youth from all around the world as I gained experience supporting students emotionally, socially, and academically. I’m so grateful to have experienced the impact NYSA has on both its students and staff, and I’m thankful for Pitzer’s summer internship funding for making this experience possible!”
