» Rename Your Favorite Area on Campus

Your gift supports the annual Chapman Fund, our most flexible and far-reaching giving opportunity. The Chapman Fund touches every corner of Chapman, from research to campus improvements to student scholarships. All gifts raised by the Chapman Fund in a fiscal year are spent in THAT fiscal year, meaning your gift is put into action right away.

The Chapman Fund is unrestricted.

This means that the University can move quickly to address the most pressing campus needs, and fund the best and most timely student and faculty projects. The Chapman Fund allows us to work and give without limits every year.

Alumni gifts to the Chapman Fund increase the value of your degree.

Annual college rankings are based, in part, on the number of alumni who give back to their alma mater and those universities with high returns rise to the top! The amount given doesn't matter, it's all about the participation. The greater percentage of the alumni network who donate, the higher Chapman rises in the rankings, increasing the value of your degree.

A special thank you to the Chapman Family members who are generously participating in the 5 for $5 on 5/5 campaign. Want to see your name on the honor roll? Decide what you'd like to rename and give today!

Here are the incremental breakdowns of giving, plus your perks for participating.

• $5: Rename an area or program for 5 minutes and receive an e-certificate
• $30: Rename an area or program for 30 minutes and receive a hard copy of your certificate and an e-certificate
• $60: Rename an area or program for 1 hour and receive the recognition above, plus a letter from the dean or administrator of the area you renamed
• $120: Rename an area or program for 2 hours and receive the recognition above, plus a special gift to be picked up at Homecoming (Oct. 6-7, 2017)
• $1,000: Rename an area or program for 1 day and receive the recognition above, plus a personal video message from President Struppa.

Please note that every dollar that you donate grants you one minute of renaming any school or college of your choice. You can also name other areas of campus if you prefer.

The 5 for $5 on 5/5 campaign is a fun way to give back to Chapman University and celebrate the collective impact that gifts of all sizes (small, large, and everything in between) can make in the lives of Chapman students. Here's the nitty gritty:

• No buildings or areas of campus will be officially or legally renamed as part of the 5 for $5 on 5/5 campaign. Your renaming is just for fun and will be symbolic.

• You can choose the new name of your school, college, or area of campus; however, new names must remain PG. If you leave the field blank, we’ll default to your name.

• Have a special request for naming? We would love to hear it! Just email apopescu@chapman.edu with your request.

• We'll pick the time of your renaming and let you know.
