Meet the Staff

David Moore transitioned to leading the Office of Legacy Planning in 2008 after serving nearly five years as the director of alumni and parent relations. Prior to that promotion, David completed a series of specialized classes on planned giving techniques and the corresponding examinations in an intensive program offered through the American Institute for Philanthropic Studies. Additionally, David earned a master's degree in organizational leadership and a graduate certificate in organizational development through Chapman in 2009.

Enhanced by his in-depth knowledge of the university, David serves as a philanthropic advisor for the Chapman Family. In addition to lifetime gifts of all varieties, he helps inspired and visionary people in creating a meaningful legacy that invests in the future. He expertly provides guidance and educational materials about estate planning tools that can be tax-advantaged and may offer additional benefits such as lifetime income or wealth transfer.

If it's been a while since you last explored the campus, contact David for a guided tour that includes the history, culture, and people of Chapman University. By the end of the tour, you might just find yourself to be inspired and visionary, too!

David also oversees the Charles C. Chapman Legacy Society, which celebrates those who have made plans for the future of the university through their estate.
