Mark your calendars, UCR Give Day is March 4-5, 2025!

This annual fundraising event is a chance for the Highlander community to rally behind key campus initiatives, and the UCR Library is excited to participate.

This year, the UCR Library is raising money for two critical funds:

• Raymond L. Orbach Library Endowed Fund, which supports the acquisition of new science and engineering resources such as databases, journals, and books.
• Creat’R Lab Fund, which helps expand technology offerings in our makerspace, the Creat’R Lab. The Creat’R Lab Team is hoping to purchase a new resin printer that will enable more precise and durable 3D printing projects—perfect for engineering, medical, and design applications.

Give Day is a fully digital campaign. If you’re on the UCR Library’s contact list, you’ll receive a text message or email on March 4 with links to our Give Day pages. Want to make a difference today? You can make a gift early by visiting our Give Day landing page. You can also donate to any of our funds at library.ucr.edu/giving.

If you have any questions or would prefer to make a donation in another form, please contact the UCR Library’s Senior Director of Development Shannon Castro via email or call/text her at (626) 378-1424.
