Giving Days

Giving days present a unique opportunity to amplify your fundraising efforts using the power of social media. These days of giving are powerful platforms to rally support from our community, partners, and friends.

  • Giving Tuesday
    Held annually on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday is a global movement that encourages people to give back to causes they care about. It's an excellent time to promote the UC Master Gardener Program and highlight the impact of donations.

  • UC ANR Giving Day
    This special event is a focused fundraising effort within our UC ANR community. It's a day dedicated to supporting the programs and initiatives across the UC ANR network, including the UC Master Gardener Program. By participating in UC ANR Giving Day, we can showcase our program’s impact and attract supporters who share our vision.
