Keep in mind that any gifts towards student support from faculty, emeriti, staff, students and their spouses are matched by the Chancellor (http://ourpromise.berkeley.edu/).

In addition to donating online, contributions can be mailed to the department. Checks should be made out to "The Regents of the University of California" and addressed to Judith Coyote, Department of Earth Planetary Science, 307 McCone Hall, University of California, Berkeley, CA, 94720-4767.
