[Ccb_gsr_listserv] CCB-SEEDS Gear Closet Giving Tuesday

[Debbie Brown]

UC Riverside is home to world-class ecological, environmental, agricultural, and other field-based research, and the next generation of scientists and undergraduate and graduate students can benefit significantly from being involved in field research. Field experiences like these not only give students insight into the actual processes of field-based research but also improve retention of students in ecology and decrease demographic disparities in student retention in the major.

The UCR Gear Closet will help ensure that students have equitable access to the valuable experiences that this research has to offer. Your Giving Tuesday<https://givingtuesday.ucr.edu/o/university-of-california-riverside/i/ucr-giving-tuesday-fy24/f/ccb-student-support-fund> donation to the CCB-SEEDS Student Research Gear Closet will help provide funding for outdoor clothing, gear, and equipment and impact the professional trajectory for students interested in science.

The goal of the Student Research Gear Closet is to make conducting field research more accessible by providing the following:

  1.  A physical closet to provide students with day-to-day outdoor clothing and equipment at no cost. Items include field shirts, field pants, sunscreen, snake gaiters, comfortable socks, and sunglasses.
  2.  Funds to cover the cost of renting larger items: Students are able to use our fund to rent tents, large backpacks, and other larger-ticket items from UCR’s Outdoor Excursions.
These two resources will be available to any students at UCR who are engaging in field-based research and activities. Donate to the CCB-SEEDS Student Support Fund<https://givingtuesday.ucr.edu/o/university-of-california-riverside/i/ucr-giving-tuesday-fy24/f/ccb-student-support-fund> today to assist in the purchase of these resources.

Hi Debbie,

Thank you for offering your assistance. In maintaining the same account as previous years, the application does request the "UCR Foundation Fund Name and Fund Number". Could you provide me with those?

Hi Darrel,

I was going to start filling out the crowdfunding application for Giving Tuesday, but I think SEEDS led this initiative last year. Have you also spoken with them about the crowdfunding page or should we assume this responsibility? The application states it can take up to 10 days to be approved, so we are going to run out of time if I wait too long to apply.

Here<https://crowdfunding.ucr.edu/o/university-of-california-riverside/i/ucrcrowdfunding/s/student-research-gear-closet-g-5kfmfgkx> is last year's crowdfunding site through UCR for reference.

Thanks in advance,
