Ways to Give
Cash and Check
Gifts by cash or check provide an easy opportunity for you to support Pace University, its schools, programs, and centers. Although either form of payment is welcome and accepted, we do not recommend that you send US Currency through the mail. Please print out the gift form (PDF) and mail your contribution, along with your check (made payable to Pace University), to:
Pace University
Gift Processing Center
PO Box 419268
Boston, MA, 02241-9268
This is for U.S. standard mail only. For our overnight mail delivery address, please contact us at (212) 346-1693 or email us. You may also visit us at our offices on campus to make a cash contribution.
Credit Cards
Pace University is pleased to accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover for gifts. We encourage you to make your gift online now or call the office of Annual Giving at (212) 346-1232 and we will be happy to take the information necessary to process your gift.
After your gift has been processed, you will receive an email which serves as an official University receipt for tax purposes.
Donor-Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund (DAF), which is like a charitable savings account, gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to Pace University and other qualified charities. Contributions to a DAF are tax deductible, and money in the fund grows tax free as you consider how you would like to recommend grants in order to achieve your philanthropic goals. Distributions made from DAFs have a significant and lasting impact on the Pace Community.
To learn more about making contributions through a DAF, visit our donor-advised fund page.
Stock and Other Property
Making a gift of securities is easy and you can avoid capital gains on appreciated properties while helping Pace University at the same time. You have two options, described below, for transferring stock to the University. If neither of these options pertains to your situation, please call us at (212) 346-1232 or email us.
If your stock is held by a broker, they can wire the shares directly to one of Pace’s brokers (Merrill Lynch or UBS). Please contact us for broker details.
IMPORTANT: Please inform Pace University of the details and purpose of the transfer. Include your name, address, name of stock, number of shares, and your broker’s name.
You can email this information to us or mail a letter to:

Stock Held in Your Possession (not registered to Pace)
If you have stock certificates in your possession that are not registered to Pace, please sign one stock power for each certificate you (and any co-owners) intend to give Pace University exactly as the name(s) appear on the certificates. You must have your signature(s) on the stock power guaranteed by a bank. Leave the remainder of the stock power blank. Please do not sign the stock certificates themselves. The unsigned stock certificates should be enclosed in one envelope. The stock power should be enclosed in a second envelope. (We recommend sending the certificates by registered mail.) Please include a notarized letter of authorization to inform us of the details and purpose of your gift, duly notarized. Both of these documents should be sent to the Annual Giving Office at the Pace University address listed above.
Stock Held in Your Possession (registered to Pace)
Send to the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, accompanied by a letter stating the purpose of the gift. Once in receipt of the certificate, the Office of Development and Alumni Relations must forward the certificate to the Pace Comptroller's Office along with a copy of the donor's letter of intent.
Electronic Transfer to Pace University
Electronic funds transfer (EFT) is the electronic exchange of funds from one account to another through computer-based systems.

Planned Gifts
Certain gifts may impact your estate planning or retirement planning. For example, you may wish to designate Pace at your death for a gift in your Will or life insurance policy, or your IRA, 401(k) plan, or 403(b) plan. Planned Gifts that are made during lifetime typically include a charitable gift annuity, a charitable lead trust or charitable remainder trust, and an IRA charitable rollover. Information about how to make these types of gifts can be found at our Pace planned giving webpage. While you are visiting that page, please be sure to visit the "Why We Give" link.
Phonathon
At the Pace University Phonathon, students contact alumni, parents, and friends of the University in order to reconnect the Pace Community and secure support. Speaking with our students is a great way to learn about important campus news, events and how you can reconnect with the university. What better way to hear about the importance of supporting Pace than from a student who will benefit from your generosity right now!
When you get a call, feel free to ask questions about all the latest Pace happenings! An alumnus sharing his or her collegiate experiences with a Phonathon student through the telling of priceless stories spreads invaluable wisdom and teaches the student the importance of investing in Pace.
Pace Phonathon students work in the Office of Development and Alumni Relations and make outgoing calls from (212) 515-6442.
Please contact us at (212) 346-1232 or email us with an questions you may have.
