Gifts and Donations

We value your commitment to the USC Emeriti Center.  It is through your generosity that we are able to provide more events, engage in new service initiatives, honor our USC History, and continue to improve our resources.

Make a Difference

As an administrative unit of USC, the Emeriti Center receives a substantial portion of its operating budget from the university.  Many activities, however, are dependent upon the generous gifts of those who share our mission.

Here are just a few of the ways you can help us fulfill our service to retired faculty and staff, assist pre-retirees with information and resources, and help serve the University and the community at large:

• Make a gift now through our secure, online giving site.  (Be sure to check the box for the USC Emeriti Center.)

• Contribute during the Annual Giving Campaign in the Fall.

• Explore endowment and naming opportunities by calling the Emeriti Center at
(213) 740-7121.

• Investigate Estate and Planned Giving.  USC’s Planned Giving Web site provides a comprehensive look at estate planning to help you determine what type of gift would be most advantageous for your particular situation.  The site offers detailed explanations of the various types of gifts and their benefits, as well as a gift calculator and other essential tools.

• Become a member of the USC Associates.
