Help Give Voice to Great Ideas

Like other nonprofit institutions such as schools and colleges, museums, and performing arts companies, UC Press cannot sustain its programs from earned income alone. While UC Press ranks among the top six university presses in the United States, it receives less than 10 percent of its budget from the University of California. Private giving is essential to continue publishing and disseminating ideas that make a difference.

As a donor, you will enjoy enrollment as a UC Press member. Besides the satisfaction of knowing your support sustains the work of UC Press, you will receive a number of additional benefits such as gift books, discounts of 20 to 40 percent on book purchases, invitations to special events featuring UC Press authors, and subscription to the UC Press newsletter and seasonal catalogs.
