Over $70,000 donated on UC ANR Giving Day 2022

UC Master Gardeners of El Dorado County posted a series of messages on Facebook through out the campaign.

At the conclusion of UC ANR Giving Day, 354 generous donors helped raise $72,342 for UC Cooperative Extension and the statewide programs, institutes and research centers. We welcomed 70 first time donors to UC ANR!

This show of support demonstrates the impact UC ANR is having in communities and the value that donors place on our work.

4-H Youth Development in Orange County posted a series of messages on Facebook showing youth in a variety of club activities.

An additional $7,500 was made available to incentivize giving to our programmatic and research initiatives at the state and local levels. These funds were raised throughout the year for the ANR Incentive Fund, which is used to encourage donor engagement and increased giving to all ANR programs.

Many thanks to our UC ANR colleagues who got creative and put the extra time into successful fundraising campaigns for the event. Now, it's time to steward our donors. Reach out to learn more about why they gave and how we can continue to engage them. Strengthening our relationships is an investment in building lasting support!

Donor reports by county and program will be available in the next issue of The Scoop. Email eddelk@ucanr.edu to be added to the distribution list.
