MORE WAYS TO GIVE
Memorial and Tribute Gifts A memorial gift extends the legacy of a loved one, commemorating the values and ideals that defined their life. Tribute or honorary gifts recognize a significant event or an exceptional person who is still living. We will notify the family or honoree of your gift, but the gift amount will remain private.
To make a memorial or tribute gift, please provide the honoree or family name and address in the comments field of the donation page so we can inform them of your generosity. If you need assistance regarding memorial or tribute gifts, contact us at ca4hfoundation@ucanr.edu.or (530) 750-1389.
Gifts in Kind UC ANR accepts in-kind donations of goods and services that support our mission; however, some restrictions apply. Please contact us at ca4hfoundation@ucanr.edu. or (530) 750-1389 so we can discuss your gift and provide the information you need.
Gifts from Donor Advised Funds (DAF) ANR accepts gifts from Donor Advised Funds. Please notify us in advance that your gift will be coming from a DAF and let us know how you would like the gift to be designated (specific program and/or location) and ask your financial advisor to direct your gift to UC ANR using the EIN #23-7327765. The funds should be mailed to University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, 2801 2nd Street Davis, CA, 95618, Atten: California 4-H Foundation.

Stocks and Securities You can make a gift to the California 4-H program by donating appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds care of University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources. Securities may be transferred from your brokerage account to the Regents of the University of California on behalf of the California 4-H Youth Development program. Per IRS rules, publicly traded securities are valued at the mean selling price on the valuation date. Click here for delivery instructions. Let us know when you plant to make a stock gift so that we can ensure it was transferred successfully by emailing us gifts@ucanr.edu.
Real Estate You may transfer real estate including land, farms, personal residences, and rental or commercial property to the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources for the purpose of supporting the California 4-H program. Some restrictions apply and depending upon the circumstances, the university will either manage or liquidate the assets. For more information, please contact us at gifts@ucanr.edu or (530) 750-1389.
IRA Distributions You can support the California 4-H program care of the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources through your IRA. Beginning in tax year 2024 you can give any amount up to $105,000 or less. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short. Distribution must be made to a qualifying charity. Please use EIN # 23-7327765 for your gift. Please consult with your financial advisor to determine if you are eligible to make an IRA distribution and to learn more about potential tax advantages. Let us know you have made this distribution so we can ensure receipt and acknowledgment by emailing us gifts@ucanr.edu.
We recommend that you seek the advice of an attorney or a tax advisor in developing your estate plan as UC ANR Development Services and that California 4-H Foundation may not render tax or legal advice.
