Leave a Legacy at UCR

I choose to give to UCR as a way to give back to the university that helped shape my future. Working behind the scenes, I see how support from alumni can make a difference and I’m proud to be a first-generation graduate contributing to the success of UCR’s future.

UC Riverside is changing the world for the better through its world-class teaching, research and public service. I’m grateful for everything UCR has done for me and my family, and giving back is my way of paying it forward to the next generation.

I give to UCR because we are a vibrant, unique, and resilient community powered by dedicated staff throughout our campus. Despite this, there are few opportunities to provide direct support to them in spite of their tireless effort to move UCR forward. My recurring donation is an easy and automatic way to know that I am helping. When I donate, I rest assured that every penny will support amazing programs that uplift and empower our campus.
