End-of-Year Giving
During the season of giving, we wanted to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of our parents who generously supported the University this year. To learn how transformative parent support can be, we invite you to learn about the Keller family and how they’ve decided to make an impact at UC Santa Barbara.
If you are considering including UC Santa Barbara in your year end giving plans, we invite you to learn more by contacting our Parent & Family Giving Program or make a gift to support the Parents Fund.
