ABOUT THE LEGACY CHALLENGE FOR OCCIDENTAL
With your documented estate gift, matching funds will be added to the Oxy Fund to support Occidental's greatest needs. Your own gift may be unrestricted (to be used where the need is greatest each year) or you may designate it to a specific program, campaign initiative, or existing endowed fund. If your estate gift is for a new fund with a specific purpose, please contact us to ensure that your wishes can be honored.
Gifts will count toward the Legacy Challenge for Occidental in The Oxy Campaign For Good upon your submission of a completed Legacy Gift Intention Form. The College will work with you to complete that form after you've expressed your intent to join the Legacy Challenge for Occidental by completing this form and sending it to one of the Occidental gift officers above.
ABOUT THE OXY CAMPAIGN FOR GOOD
Our community is joining together for The Oxy Campaign For Good, the College's first comprehensive initiative in over 20 years. Our goal is to raise $225 million to invest in Oxy and build a stronger future-by growing our financial aid endowment, expanding academic and co-curricular programs, and preserving our beautiful campus. To date, the Campaign has reached a historic milestone by raising over $200 million for Oxy, putting our goal clearly in our sights. This milestone could not have been achieved without the unwavering commitment of our Oxy community, including those who previously participated in the 2021 Legacy Challenge. Your generosity today will help propel us towards and even surpass our fundraising goal. Together, we will make a significant impact on Oxy's future.
"Members of the Oxy community who support Oxy through their estate plans have provided us with an incredibly distinctive gift-an infinite investment in the College. We are grateful to these generous donors whose forethought will allow Oxy to deliver our exceptional liberal arts education to generation upon generation of talented students."
- President Harry J. Elam, Jr.
"Oxy showed me that the path to one's goals need not be linear or conventional. I learned how to think, to write, to create; to trust my instincts and pursue my interests with passion and a standard of excellence. Not a day has passed that I have not been rewarded in some way by my Occidental education."
Michael and his wife Pamela recently documented an estate gift to support the Obama Scholars Program and the EdgertonOccidental Merit Scholarship.
