Show your commitment to Berkeley by making a pledge now to pay at a time that is most convenient for you. All Berkeley Fund pledges are due in full by June 30. Major gifts may be paid in cash at the time of commitment or in installments over three to five years with a signed gift agreement for the entire amount of the pledge.

Many donors choose to make gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds because they can have a large impact on our mission, while providing potential tax benefits, including avoidance of capital gains taxes. Please review the form for instructions on making your gift and notifying the Office of Institutional Advancement to anticipate your gift.
