Did you miss The Spring Give? Make your gift here!
The Spring Give 2023

The Spring Give is your opportunity to give UCSC students access to experiences and services that will help them succeed well past graduation. 


For the next week, you can support a range of student-centered projects as they compete for extra challenge funds. 


Your gift during the Spring Give will provide Banana Slugs with resources and opportunities that let them take full advantage of their time at UC Santa Cruz—and potentially change their life trajectories. The power to make change is in your hands.


Give to your favorite project now!
