Celebrate Your Graduate with a Gift

Graduation is a special time—filled with pride and anticipation for Caltech students and their parents, who have spent years working toward such a momentous achievement. It's the culmination of countless hours of challenging coursework, perseverance, and deep exploration of our world's most perplexing problems and thought-provoking research.

To mark this special occasion, the Caltech Fund invites parents of our graduating Senior class to commemorate their child's achievement with a gift and a personalized video from your family to your graduate. 

The process is simple:

1. Make a philanthropic gift to the Caltech Fund or another area of your choosing at Caltech
2. Use our special video platform to record a video message to your child at Caltech
3. We will deliver the video to your student's email address on file after graduation—or another time of your choosing

If you have already made a gift this fiscal year, you can email us for a link to record your video. If not, you can use the special link below to make a gift, after which you'll be taken directly to the recording page.

In your own words, we encourage you to share your thoughts of pride about your graduate's achievements as they join a distinguished and highly-accomplished group of only 25,000 alumni.

Get started by simply making a gift—of any size. After giving through the link below, you will be immediately directed to a page where you can also record a personal video message that we will deliver to your student after graduation.

You can record your video right away, or later, simply be saving the link. If you have any questions about this opportunity, your gift, or the video process, please don't hesitate to reach out by replying to this email.

Here are just a few ways you can honor your graduate with a meaningful gift to Caltech:

• Gift a membership to the Caltech Fund Catalysts for you or your child. With a gift of $1,000 or more, you will receive special communications, updates, and invitations from us to help you stay connected to Caltech.
• Name an annual scholarship with a commitment of at least $40,000 over 4 years, or endow a full scholarship that will last forever with your family name.
• Make a gift to the Caltech Parents Fund, or support this year's Senior Class Gift, and discuss in your video why that area is meaningful to you and your child.
