We are still tallying the final results, but as of 11:59 p.m. on GivingTuesday 2021, our generous donors helped raise $114,310 for UC Cooperative Extension and the statewide programs, institutes and research centers that make up UC ANR.
An additional $40,000 was made available to incentivize giving to our programmatic and research initiatives at the state and local levels. This included $20,000 in matching funds provided by the California 4-H Foundation and donations from 4-H Foundation Board members designated for the 4-H program. It also included $20,000 in funds raised throughout the year for our ANR Incentive Fund, which is used to encourage donor engagement and increased giving to all ANR programs.

Dear Colleagues,
I am thrilled to report that we raised over $196,000 for UC ANR programs on GivingTuesday this year – a 49% increase over the $130K raised during GivingTuesday last year! Given the widespread opinion that giving was likely to be down this year, this result is both inspiring and an affirmation of the support that our programs enjoy.
The 2020 GivingTuesday total breaks records for our previous giving-day campaigns. UC ANR received 854 gifts from 736 donors this year; in 2019, 494 donors gave 580 gifts. Many thanks to all of you who worked to get the word out and gave your time and money to make the campaign so successful. My goal for next year is to see a much larger percentage...

Dear Colleagues,
ANR will participate in #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving fueled by the power of our social network. Celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season.
“We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to raise some funds for our ANR programs while raising the visibility of the ways Californians benefit from your work,” said VP Glenda Humiston.
It's as simple as a tweeting a photo with “What are you thankful for? Take part in #GivingTuesday today to give back to your community! #UCANReach @ucanr
