University Development and Alumni Relations

Annual gifts to University of the Pacific go to work immediately, ensuring that a Pacific education remains cutting edge, with small class sizes, diverse perspectives and committed professors.

Your philanthropic giving supports Pacific Tigers and their commitment to excellence. Learn how you can support our student-athletes so they can thrive on and off the courts.

Our office helps corporations and foundations navigate the university and identify opportunities for collaboration.

Pacific’s digital crowdfunding platform lets alumni, students, clubs, schools and programs secure funding for transformative projects.

Our Office of Estate and Gift Planning can help you determine the most tax efficient and flexible strategy for you and your family to provide a future gift to University of the Pacific.

Many companies match their employee's monetary gifts to nonprofit organizations, such as Pacific. Use our Matching Gift Company Directory tool to see if your company participates.

Stay connected to Pacific and your classmates through our vast alumni network, club events, reunions and more. 

The Powell Match program will match new endowment gifts up to 1:1 with more than $60 million allocated for endowed scholarship matches and $25 million for endowed academic program matches. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to double your gift while matching funds remain.
