Our Crowdfunding Groups
This campaign has ended, but you can still support amazing field trips for EPSS students by clicking here.
Dear Donors,
Thank you so much for supporting the Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences first-ever UCLA Spark campaign! Thanks to your support we have already raised 38% toward our campaign funding target of $20,000. Your generous contributions will directly support EPSS’ ability to offer field research experiences to our students at minimal to no-cost to them by funding airfare, transportation, lodging, equipment, sustenance, and more. Because of you, the next generation of UCLA-trained geophysicists and geologists will truly make an impact in their professions after UCLA thanks to these unforgettable experiences.
We are grateful for your support and will be working our way toward 100% of our funding target until January 1st. You’ve already done so much just by donating to our crowdfunding project, but if you’re willing, we’d appreciate your additional support in helping us to spread the word about the campaign to your friends, family, and Earth lovers everywhere.
Thank you!
