You can join the Annual Fund by giving to any of these areas of your strongest affinity on a recurring basis.
Kresge Annual Fund Gift Designations
Supports Kresge College students' pursuit of research and independent study collaborations with research faculty at UC Santa Cruz, and encourages the university’s best educators to be deeper involved in Kresge's academic life.
Kresge Living-Learning Communities
Supports education and programming that emphasizes "hands-on", student-directed learning in "Kresge Labs", strengthening student cooperatives, and Service Learning projects.
Kresge - Power and Representation
Enhances Kresge College's core course by supporting additional instruction to keep class sizes small, support distinguished guest lectures in Kresge plenary series, and helps connect the core course to the broader community by extending its themes into Kresge's Media and Society series.
The Reyna Grande Scholarship is awarded annually to a Kresge student whose creative work, either in arts departments or in creative writing, is intended to advance the standing and visibility of Latinx culture and history, promote positive outcomes for Latinx communities, or otherwise strengthen awareness and dialogue on Latinx identity.
The Kresge Provost’s Fund allows the Provost to designate your gift to the area of greatest need and is the most flexible kind of giving to Kresge College.
