Giving Guidelines and Disclosure Statement Privacy Notice

The 1977 California Information Practices Act requires UCLA to inform individuals asked to supply information about themselves of the following: UCLA is requesting this information to update the general resource files of its External Affairs Department. Furnishing the information is strictly voluntary and will be maintained confidentially. The information may be used by other University departments in the regular course of business, but will not be disseminated to others except if required by law.

You have the right to review your own data file. Inquiries should be forwarded to the Assistant Vice Chancellor Finance and Information Management, External Affairs, 10920 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 900, Los Angeles, CA 90024.

Pledges

Pledges enable you to plan personal giving programs that are both convenient and tax-wise. Pledges may also enable you to consider more significant gifts than would have been otherwise possible. You may choose to establish an automatic payment plan to complete your pledge or request that courtesy reminders be sent out instead. Please call (310) 206-3302 to discuss different options regarding a pledge to the Wooden Athletic Fund.

Donors Consent to Use Personal Information

The University is grateful for the support it receives from alumni, parents, and friends. One of the ways we express our thanks is by listing the names of donors in Web-based and/or print publications. Should you wish that your name not appear as a donor, please notify us if you have not already done so.

Securities

In addition to outright gifts of cash and property, there are other types of giving opportunities available, such as charitable remainder trusts, charitable gift annuities, deferred gift annuities, charitable lead trusts, pooled income funds, life insurance, and bequests which may offer attractive tax advantages.

Fiduciary Responsibility of The UCLA Foundation

The UCLA Foundation is a California non-profit, public benefit corporation organized for the purpose of encouraging voluntary private gifts, trusts and bequests for the benefit of the UCLA campus. Responsibility for governance of the Foundation, including investments, is vested in its Board of Directors.

Estate Plan Gifts

Recovery of Operating Costs from Private Gifts
