How to Make a Pledge

Select your class button.

The site is prepopulated for the Wharton Fund. You will choose “Pledge,” for how much, how often to donate and over how many years.

1. After the site loads, click on the word “Pledge” and then you will see a choice of “Pledge” or “Securities.”   Choose Pledge again.

2. Enter total value of pledge.  This is the total amount you would like to give the school over a number of years.  This should include matching gifts from your company if you can.  Enter the amount.

3. To fulfill your pledge, you can donate monthly or annually. Click on “Monthly Payments” drop down menu and you will see a choice of monthly or annually. Make your choice and click.

4. Now choose over how many years from 1 (this fiscal year) to 5.  To do this, click on the drop down menu next to “1 Year”

5. Your start date is the date of your payment.  All future donations will be due on this same day unless you let Cynthia Orr know at corr@wharton.upenn.edu.  She can change it to another date for the second and subsequent donations such as December 31st or June 15.  She can also request an individual donation plan if you do not want the remaining donations divided equally.

5. Choose any boxes under Gift options or choose none.   If your pledge amount already includes a matching gift, do NOT choose “My employer will match this gift”

6. Click “Add to basket and continue” at the bottom of the page.
The remainder of the process is simply your personal and payment information.
