How to Give

Pledge – Making a pledge enables you to spread out a gift commitment over a defined period of time. Working with the University Advancement staff, donors can designate the amount of, and the duration of, their pledge.

Cash – The simplest way to make a cash gift is to mail a check made payable to Chapman University. Mail it to Chapman University, Gift Recorder, One University Drive, Orange, CA 92866. Or, use our secure, online Giving Form to make your gift today! 

Payroll Deduction - Faculty and staff of Chapman University may select the convenience of payroll deduction for a one-time or monthly gift. Use the Gift Payroll Deduction Form on the Payroll website.

Securities – By giving stocks and bonds you may receive tax benefits. To discuss a gift of securities, please contact University Advancement at (714) 997-6955.

Property – Gifts of property that comply with the university’s real estate policy are welcome. Please contact University Advancement at (714) 997-6955.
