WHO WE ARE Simply put, we are highly motivated and passionate students who love UCSB. We believe in giving back. We understand the impact that giving makes at UCSB and we want to pay it forward. UCSB grows great when we plant trees whose shade will be enjoyed by others. OUR MISSION The UCSB First mission is to foster a campus-wide culture of philanthropy. Our goal is to raise awareness with UCSB students about the importance of private giving, which makes our outstanding educational experience possible. We strive to inspire students to get involved with philanthropy now because collectively, we can make a difference.
