Endowments
Endowed gifts sustain UC Press publishing programs and offer rewarding opportunities to perpetuate your legacy in books of enduring value.
Named Endowment Funds may be established with a gift of $50,000 or more. Endowed Imprints may be established with a gift of $250,000 or more. Endowment donors may choose to support a specific subject area, determined in collaboration with Press staff.
Join our community of title supporters to see your name, and/or someone you want to memorialize or honor, acknowledged in print at the front of our books! Learn how you can provide a meaningful gift to a title or subject you are interested in by reaching out to Amanda Todd at atodd@ucpress.edu.
