Get ready for UC ANR Giving Day May 19-20
Big Dig Day is now called “UC ANR Giving Day” and will run from noon to noon on May 19-20. The new name is designed to be more inclusive of the breadth of UC ANR programs. This will be UC ANR's fourth proprietary spring giving day and will be sponsored by Tri Counties Bank.
Join us for 24 hours of giving to raise funds for your project or program for the benefit of more Californians.
Some of the projects funded by recent giving day donations include demonstration gardens, outreach teaching supplies and youth scholarships.
Donors are invited to give to counties, Research and Extension Centers, and programs. When you click “GIVE” on our website http://donate.ucanr.edu/givingday, fund choices appear in the drop-down menus. If you would like to add or change a gift fund at https://donate.ucanr.edu, please submit requests to gifts@ucanr.edu by May 1.
