Gifts may be unrestricted in use, or you may specify that your gift be targeted to a particular program or purpose. You may designate further that the gift be placed in an endowment.
Some donors make current gifts, and others choose to satisfy their commitment over a period of time.
You may wish to retain an interest in your gift, such as the right to receive income from it, or to give through your estate. Under certain circumstances, your gift may entitle you to tax benefits. Gifts to support UCLA may be made payable to The UCLA Foundation, a non-profit, public benefit corporation that accepts and administers private support for the University. The Regents of the University of California also administer some gifts for UCLA's benefit. However you choose to give, you can be assured that your philanthropy will help to secure the future of this great institution.
