As a public university, about a quarter of UCR's funding comes from the State of California. The rest of the budget comes from other sources, including philanthropy. The generous gifts of donors are used to help UCR provide scholarships, create endowed professorships, support student health and well-being, develop needed facilities, pursue discovery, support the Botanic Gardens, and much more.

On Tuesday, November 28, 2023 from midnight to 11:59 pm PST, UCR will be participating in the global event known as Giving Tuesday. 

Thank you for considering a gift to UCR.
