Giving Day Madera Master Gardeners
May 16-17 · Noon to Noon
In its sixth year as UC ANR’s own online giving campaign, UC ANR Giving Day will run from noon to noon on May 16-17, 2024.
Your gift helps ensure UC ANR continues to provide essential resources and trusted information to the people of California. Some of the projects funded by recent giving day donations include demonstration gardens, outreach teaching supplies and youth scholarships.
On UC ANR Giving Day—a day to give to the programs you care about—we invite you to support the vital services that sustain our state, country, and world.
Gifts of any size will have an immediate impact.
Thank you for your generous support.
