“Caltech has given so much to me. I want to make sure that other people have the kind of opportunities that were given to me. Everything starts with education, it’s so much more than what we know, it’s how we live.”

It may be easier than you think to show your class pride.

Did you know that planned gifts count toward reunion giving? Here are six savvy ways to make your class reunion gift—without even writing a check.

1. Include Caltech in your will or living trust.

2. Name Caltech as a beneficiary of your retirement plan.

3. Give a life insurance policy that you no longer need.

4. Make a gift that returns income to you in the years to come.

5. Donate real estate or property now or through a retained life estate.

6. If you are at least 70 ½, you can also make an IRA Charitable Rollover gift that will count as a reunion gift. To learn more about the IRA Charitable Rollover click here.
