Real estate—including personal residences, second homes, income property and vacant land—offers a wide variety of tax and other benefits. You can give an entire property or a portion (an undivided percentage interest).

Gifts of personal property, including rare books, works of art, valuable collectibles and tangible items of demonstrable value—in some cases can allow you to support Pitzer with tax benefits to you. Personal property, such as copyrights, patents, and mineral rights, can generate income for the program of your choice.

For more information, please contact the Office of Advancement at 909.621.8130 or email giving@pitzer.edu.

End of Calendar Year Giving

  • Credit Cards: To receive a current-year gift receipt, Pitzer College needs to charge your credit card before midnight on December 31. Pitzer’s giving portal takes credit cards and automatically charges the card within minutes of the gift. You are strongly encouraged to give online if you need a gift receipt to reflect the date of your contribution. At the end of the calendar year when Pitzer’s campus is closed for winter break, your gift may not be recorded until after the new year.
  • Checks: If you mail your check, your gift must be postmarked on or before December 31 to receive a current-year gift receipt.
  • UPS/FedEx Deliveries: For a delivery to qualify for a current-year gift receipt, someone at Pitzer must sign/take possession of the delivery on or before December 31. With the shortened hours of Pitzer’s mailroom over winter break, please consider alternative ways to send a last-minute gift if you would like a current-year gift receipt.
  • Electronic Stock Transfers: The date of your gift, and how we value your gift, is based on the date the shares enter Pitzer’s clearing account.
