An additional $7,500 was made available to incentivize giving to our programmatic and research initiatives at the state and local levels. These funds were raised throughout the year for the ANR Incentive Fund, which is used to encourage donor engagement and increased giving to all ANR programs.

Many thanks to our UC ANR colleagues who got creative and put the extra time into successful fundraising campaigns for the event. Now, it's time to steward our donors. Reach out to learn more about why they gave and how we can continue to engage them. Strengthening our relationships is an investment in building lasting support!
