Invest in every Californian with a gift to UC ANR
Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this year #GivingTuesday is Dec. 3 and kicks off the giving season by inspiring people to give back.
“Wherever you are in California, so are we,” said Glenda Humiston, UC vice president for agriculture and natural resources. “Our programs and research serve our communities— bringing practical, science-based answers to residents across the state.”
#GivingTuesday continues to grow each year as people come together to support and champion the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live.
Donors may designate the UC ANR programs or locations to which they wish to donate. The website http://donate.ucanr.edu contains links to all UC ANR programs, research and extension centers and UCCE offices.
UC ANR anticipates an exciting campaign thanks in part to generous donors, volunteers, staff and board members who have given a total of $35,000 in matching funds—a tremendous incentive to donors across the state who want to double the impact of their gifts.
“UC ANR provides research and outreach in your community—to be a neighbor in times of need,” said Emily Delk, UC ANR director of annual giving and donor stewardship. “And, we can't do this without your help.”

Celebrating generosity on Giving Tuesday
In this season of gratitude and giving, we at UC Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) would like to give thanks to everyone who has made a donation to UC ANR on Giving Tuesday over the past few years.
Whether you donate your time as a Master Gardener volunteer or a 4-H volunteer, or your money to support a statewide program, Research and Extension Center, Cooperative Extension office in your county or our California Agriculture journal, your gift makes a difference and helps us go farther.
You are here. So are we. Your donations help us achieve our mission to connect UC research in agriculture, natural resources, nutrition and youth development with local communities to improve the lives of all Californians.
We hope you'll consider making a gift on Giving Tuesday (December 3) this year. And please keep in touch. Visit our home page this week — and every week — and subscribe to our Connected newsletter to catch up on the work we do for you.
Thank you for all you do to support UC ANR!
