Why does the NRS need my gift?
While state funds once covered almost every dollar UC needed to operate, today only 7 percent of the University’s total budget comes from the state’s general fund. To continue to protect its lands, maintain its facilities, and serve the people of California, the NRS seeks donations to help ensure the NRS can continue to train tomorrow’s scientists, improve our understanding of nature, and conserve California’s biodiversity.
