Support the UC Santa Cruz Women’s Center
The Women’s Center proudly serves and uplifts the UC Santa Cruz community. With your support, we are able to provide essential resources to students, staff and faculty, including: basic needs support, free printing, a cultural pantry, a feminist library, and kitchen access. We also host events throughout the year that foster empowerment, advocacy, and community. In addition, your generosity helps us offer meaningful internship opportunities that help students grow professional careers and thrive in their careers.
Why your gifting matters
Every gift supports our missions of affirming the dignity and diversity of all women while continuing and challenging feminist traditions.
Thanks to supporters like you, the Women’s Center can offer free, easily accessibly and vital services that directly benefit UC Santa Cruz students, staff, and faculty.
Every contribution makes a difference. Your support empowers the Women’s Center to continue to advocate for equity, providing essential resources, and building an inclusive community at UC Santa Cruz.
