Make a Bequest

Please consider including the UCSC Library in your will or estate plan. 

You might be able to make a bigger gift than you imagine, provide for your family, and leave a legacy that will enrich the library's users for many decades to come. 

The university has arranged many planned gifts, some of which provide current income.
