Philanthropy may be inspired by an overwhelming sense of gratitude, a lively intellectual curiosity, or a desire to encourage excellence in a young scholar. It culminates in a gift of optimism, a gift for a world made better through the civilizing influence of higher education.

The Dean's Office in the Sciences provides leadership to UC Santa Barbara for encouraging private support from alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations to advance the educational, research and service priorities of the sciences. Gifts to UCSB can be directed to individual departments for specific purposes, or left to the discretion of the Dean as an unrestricted gift. All gifts make a difference.

Gifts of all sizes are greatly valued and deeply appreciated. If you would like to make a gift to UCSB Science please contact us directly through either e-mail Dan Oh dan.oh@ia.ucsb.edu, Director of Development or phone (805) 893-7223.
