Welcome to Gift Planning


The University of California, San Francisco is grateful for the many gifts it has received over the years from alumni, faculty, staff, and friends through their estate plans. These gifts have supported capital projects, leading-edge research, student scholarships, faculty chairs, and much more. They come to UCSF mainly by way of bequests or as life-income gifts. With thoughtful planning a planned gift can create win-win opportunities for you and for UCSF.
