Make Your Gift Go Further with Gift Aid
If you are a UK taxpayer, your donation may be eligible for Gift Aid. This government scheme increases the value of your gift by 25% at no extra cost to you, allowing you to make an even greater impact on the University’s students, faculty, and research. Since 2022, we have increased giving by over $25,000 through the UK government’s Gift Aid program.
The Impact of Your Generosity
Since 2022, the UC Trust has helped campuses raise $8.7 million for research and student support. From scholarships that open doors for talented students to pioneering research tackling global challenges, your gifts change lives and strengthen the UC community worldwide.
Investing in Students’ Futures
The Trust has proudly supported scholarships and fellowships that enable exceptional students to study at UC campuses. Recent examples include the UCSD Alumni United Kingdom Education Abroad Program Scholarship, the UCSB UK Donor Group, and the United Kingdom Undergraduate Study Abroad Scholarship at UCLA, all of which help students from diverse backgrounds achieve their academic dreams and become leaders in their fields.
