Charitable Donation to the Office of Education Partnerships
UCSB’s Office of Education Partnerships ensures that greater numbers of low-income youth, underrepresented students and first generation students are successful in pursuing a college degree. External support of OEP’s community, K12 and university-based programs makes a critical difference in terms of what we can offer students. OEP works with corporate partners who contribute cash or in-kind gifts, engages alumni and students, and benefits from the support of foundations and individual donors. We welcome opportunities to develop new relationships!
