  • To have your gift matched by your employer, please request a matching gift form from your human resources office and send it to Pacific along with your gift. If you have questions, please email give@pacificu.edu or call 503-352-2211.

• Make a Gift with an IRA Charitable Rollover
  • Consider utilizing your required minimum distribution (RMD) to support Pacific University. If you are 70.5 years or older, you can make a tax-free distribution from your IRA to Pacific. Any qualified contribution up to $100,000 counts toward your required minimum distribution. Your spouse may also make a qualified charitable distribution of up to $100,000. To make a gift from your IRA, contact your IRA custodian (Fidelity, Merrill Lynch, Schwab, Vanguard, etc.) and ask the representative to send a check in the amount you desire (up to $100,000) payable to Pacific University.
  • Please contact Jan Stricklin, senior associate vice president for principal and planned gifts, by email or call 503-352-2890 and provide the following information:
  • Your name
    The amount of your check
    The name of the IRA custodian (Fidelity, Merrill Lynch, Schwab, Vanguard, etc.)
    If the gift is a restricted gift please describe the details
• Make a Gift of Mutual Funds
  • Donors should plan ahead when making a gift using shares of mutual funds. The mutual fund process varies by company and individuals need to obtain the applicable transfer instructions. Mutual fund transfers take longer than a stock transfer and individuals should allow four to six weeks. Individuals wishing to make a year-end gift and want a tax credit in the current year should start the process no later than November of each year.
  • Please contact your mutual fund company and Jan Stricklin, senior associate vice president for principal and planned gifts, by email, or call 503-352-2890 at least one month in advance to facilitate the process. Please provide Pacific with the name of the mutual fund that you will be transferring shares from, the symbol or CUSIP, the number of shares, the expected dollar amount of the transfer and the intended use of the gift.
