of your gift to Peirce may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies also match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.

Memorial Gifts
Making a memorial gift to Peirce College is a wonderful way to honor and remember an individual who was admired, loved and respected. Your gift is a lasting tribute to the important part that he or she played in your life and/or in the College.
It can establish a permanent link with the past and encourages others to participate in a vision for the future. Memorial gifts can be established as outright gifts to the College, by including a bequest in your will, or through creating an
endowment to fund a special program or project.
