Giving to McGeorge

The Powell Match was established through the transformative $125 million Powell Fund, 这是罗伯特和珍妮特·鲍威尔夫妇的遗产. 精明的商人, Bob Powell appreciated an opportunity to leverage his philanthropy to inspire others, 有了这个项目, 他继续这样做. 鲍威尔夫妇自己并没有大学毕业, yet served as members of the Pacific Board of Regents for many years and believed deeply in the value of a Pacific education. 鲍威尔基金与太平洋基金会的新捐款比例高达1:1. Nearly $70 million is allocated for endowed scholarship matches and more than $35 million for endowed academic program matches.

An endowment is a permanent fund at the University established with contributions from donors that will be invested in perpetuity. Each year, a portion of the value of the fund is distributed to support the donor's purpose such as student scholarships or program support. 超过这一分配的任何收益都将构成基金的市场价值. 该大学目前的捐赠支出政策是4.0% of market value.

Endowed funds that provide scholarships or academic support to our faculty and academic programs are eligible for the Powell Match Program. Examples of academic program endowments could include support for a specific department, a faculty position, 或学生的学习机会，如学术比赛(如.g., forensics or trial advocacy), a lecture series or experiential learning programs. 奖学金捐赠的例子包括空档补助金, 中等收入的奖学金, 优秀奖学金或留学奖学金. 来自鲍威尔的礼物, nearly $70 million is allocated for endowed scholarship matches and more than $35 million for endowed academic program matches.

Gifts of $50,000 or more to establish or enhance an endowment may be eligible to receive a Powell Match. 10月1日以后送出的空前礼物, 2012 may be considered for the match if an additional gift or commitment to the endowment is made. Gifts of cash, 股票或其他资产, 包括长达5年的承诺, qualify for 1:1 matching so long as the assets can be liquidated within a 5-year period.

没有必要一次付清所有的礼物. However, neither the match nor the distribution will occur until the University has received the minimum $50,000. Payment schedules of various lengths may be established by the donor with a maximum duration of five years. 

一旦捐赠和/或认捐协议签署, 捐赠者最多有五年的时间来达到最低要求的50美元,以保证鲍威尔比赛.

个人或夫妇赠送的礼物, 一群人, family foundations or family owned businesses are all eligible to be matched by the Powell Fund.

One or more donors may commit to establish or enhance an endowment and once that endowment has been matched at the $50,000 minimum, each and every additional gift by any donor will be matched on a quarterly basis for as long as matching funds are available.

The Powell Fund will match both your gift and your company's matching contribution. Your company's match can also count toward the $50,000 minimum to qualify for the Powell Match. So in effect, 鲍威尔基金匹配和雇主1:1匹配之间的差距, 你的礼物将是原来的四倍.

Example: $50,000 donor gift + $50,000 employer match + $100,000 Powell Match = $200,000 endowment

计划(延期)捐赠不符合匹配资格.

The match is made available after a gift or payments received toward a pledge total $50,000 or more. Your endowment is established in the quarter that the minimum $50,000 is received. 鲍威尔匹配部分是在同一时间添加.

如果捐赠基金在6月30日前到位, it will have a full distribution (currently at 4%) annually starting the fall after one year of investment. 如果捐赠在6月30日之后达到了最低要求, 但在12月31日之前, the fund will have a half distribution (2%) starting the following fall and then a full (4%) annual distribution each subsequent year.
