Support the UCSC Fund: Say YES to Opportunity

At UC Santa Cruz, YES is more than a word—it’s a promise of opportunity, growth, and innovation. By making a gift to the UCSC Fund, you empower us to say YES when it matters most.

This fund is our most flexible and impactful resource, allowing us to direct your support to the initiatives that need it most and have an immediate impact.

Your YES in Action

Thanks to generous donors like you, last year we said YES to:

• Funding the Chancellor’s Undergraduate Internship Program, providing students with hands-on experiences that prepare them for their futures.
• Supporting athletics, promoting teamwork, wellness, and pride in our Banana Slug community.
• Sponsoring student-organized events and clubs, nurturing creativity, leadership, and a vibrant campus life.

Be the Difference

When you contribute to the UCSC Fund, you make a profound impact on the lives of our students. Whether it’s $10 or $10,000, every gift creates ripples of positive change. Together, we can open doors to transformative experiences, opportunities, and success stories.

Say YES today—because when you do, UC Santa Cruz students thrive.

Thank you for believing in the power of YES.
