Honor Someone Special With a Gift in Their Name

If you have a loved one who has been impacted by Scripps College, establishing a memorial or tribute gift is a meaningful way to honor them or celebrate a special occasion, such as a birthday, while supporting our mission. Your memorial or tribute gift will extend the legacy of your loved one and will make a difference.

An Example of How It Works

John and his mother smiling He remembered that during her lifetime she was always praising Scripps College for the beautiful residence halls and grounds, her close relationships with the faculty, and the lifelong friendships she made there.

John decided to make a gift to Scripps College in his mother's name using appreciated securities. Not only will his mother's legacy live on at Scripps College thanks to the gift, but John also qualified for a federal income tax charitable deduction and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.
