Making a gift in your will or living trust, known as a bequest, can guarantee that your legacy endures. Your gift may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after all other provisions are specified.

If you have named UC San Diego in your will or trust, please let us know so we can ensure that your gift is used according to your wishes. Notifying us of your plans will enable us to plan for the use of your future gift. However, if you prefer to remain anonymous, we will keep your name and gift in strict confidence.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have as you make your estate plans. Please contact the Office of Gift Planning at (858) 534-2249 or giftplanning@ucsd.edu for more information.
