Giving Day 2023
Thank you, Banana Slug Family!
On November 8, 2023 the greater UC Santa Cruz community came together to raise funds and enhance student success.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our eighth Giving Day as we raised funds for vital campus resources that help ensure students have access to financial support, secure sources for basic needs, mental health support, opportunities to participate in cutting-edge research, and connections that catalyze their social mobility. Congratulations to the 160 project teams who activated their networks, rallied their supporters, and championed causes across the entire campus.
While we are still settling the final numbers, we are thrilled to see another record-setting year. As we build a culture of philanthropy at UC Santa Cruz, your support is having an immediate impact in the lives of our students and the work of our programs.
Although Giving Day 2023 is over, your support is support is always welcome an appreciated. If you missed out on the fun, and would still like to be part of our big day, we invite you to make a gift here.
Thank you for your generosity and commitment to UC Santa Cruz, and investing in the change-makers of tomorrow.
