As a nonprofit organization, UC Press relies on generous contributions from donors who champion exceptional independent publishing, critical thinking, and bold creativity. Your contributions to the UC Press Foundation greatly assist the Press in attracting the finest authors, maintaining high-quality production values, and offseting costs to help keep books widely accessible to readers worldwide.
Donors who make gifts of $100 and above receive special membership benefits and discounts. Gifts of $1,000 and above may be designated toward a specific publication, and donors will be recognized in the first pages of the book. You may also choose to underwrite a group or series of publications in a particular subject with a gift of $25,000 or more. A modest portion of all gifts is applied to the Foundation’s administrative overhead.
