Giving
Giving Societies
Every gift to UC Riverside redefines what’s possible – for our students and our world. Giving Societies are one way we honor and celebrate the diverse and vital impact of UC Riverside’s generous and visionary philanthropic partners and friends.
On behalf of all Highlanders, past, present, and future: thank you.

Bell Tower Society
Our most loyal supporters, Bell Tower Society members infuse UCR with a spirit of everyday generosity. Through your dedicated consecutive giving, our trailblazing students, faculty, and staff have a steady flow of resources to stay on the leading edge of innovation and research.
Tartan Society
When you make a leadership gift to UC Riverside, you play a crucial role in accelerating the bold ideas into the solutions of tomorrow. Generosity from leadership gifts provides the critical support needed for students, faculty, and staff to continue addressing the big issues of our time with innovative and fluent solutions.


Highlander Society
Stewards of a bold and brilliant future, Highlander Society members provide visionary support for UC Riverside. With gifts of $25,000 or more throughout their lifetimes, these generous benefactors sow seeds of transformation for the UC Riverside family.
1907 Society
A community of forward-thinkers, 1907 Society members secure a future of excellence for UC Riverside through planned gifts. Distinguished members of the 1907 Society automatically receive this lifetime recognition upon pledging the gift of their wills, estate plans, and other deferred giving.


“Because Highlanders like you show unwavering support of our mission to transform lives through education, innovation, and discovery, UCR continues to grow and expand in impact and reach.”
Chancellor Kim A. Wilcox, ninth chancellor of the University of California, Riverside
