Legacy giving

Make a Big Impact With a Future Gift

Several gift arrangements are available if you would like to extend your support of UC Santa Cruz University Library and make a lasting impact.

Whether you would like to support our work today or benefit us after your lifetime, you can find a charitable plan that lets you provide for your family and support UC Santa Cruz University Library. Here are some of the most popular charitable plans to consider:

Remember Us in Your Will

Structure your will to provide for your family first. Then include a gift to the charitable organizations you love. Just a few simple sentences and a meeting with an estate planning attorney are all it takes.

Make a Gift and Receive Fixed Payments for Life

If you'd like to support UC Santa Cruz University Library and receive steady payments for life, a charitable gift annuity may be right for you.

Donate Stocks

If you give stocks you've owned for more than one year that are worth more than when you purchased them, you'll qualify for significant tax advantages. To donate stocks, bonds, or mutual funds, please follow the instructions in this form.

Give Retirement Plan Assets

Consider making UC Santa Cruz University Library a beneficiary of a percentage of your retirement plan assets. Then, leave less heavily taxed assets to your loved ones.

Arrange a Charitable Trust

With a charitable remainder trust, you can receive income each year (either fixed or variable) from assets you place in the trust. After your lifetime, the balance in the trust goes to the charities of your choice.

Use Life Insurance to Make a Gift

There are several ways you can use life insurance to give back to UC Santa Cruz University Library. We can help you explore your options.

GIFTS OF MATERIALS

General Collection

The University Library has long appreciated gift materials from individuals and organizations. However, due to space constraints and the high cost of reviewing and processing donated materials, we no longer accept most donations of books and other materials for the general collection.

Rare & Archival Material

The Library appreciates the offer of rare collections or archival materials. If you feel that your collection may have unusual value for the library, you are welcome to contact the Special Collections & Archives.
