Why Give?

Our graduate students create knowledge that will improve lives and communities. Upon graduation, these highly educated scholars re-enter the California workforce to immediately contribute to the state’s industries, institutions and public service. Generous support by people who care is fundamental to their success. Only a small percentage of UCR’s funding comes from the state; the rest comes from people like you who are committed to advancing educational opportunities in the Coachella Valley.
