GIFI'S BY INDlVIDUALS
For the 1994-95 fiscal year (July 1, 1994-June 30, 1995)
gifts by individuals to the Department of Chemistry and Biochem-
istry are valued at $30.780. Together with corporate gifts of cash
and in-kind gifts of supplies and equipment, the department re-
ceived donations valued at $131.879. Gifts were received from
177 persons, an all-time high! Cash donations from individuals
ranged in value from $10 to $2,000. Total income from individuals
and corporations amounted to $47,323 in cash and $84,556 in in-
kind gifts.
Because of the fiscal problems of the State of California. sup-
port for the programs of the university, including the Department
of Chemistry and Biochemistry, has dropped dramatically. Only
about 10% of the operating expenses of the department now
comes from the state. The remainder of our needs is met from
non-state sources.
Most of the funds given to the department are used directly
for departmental operations and student support. The following
will give you some idea of what your gifts are used for:
EXPENDITURE OF PRrVATE FUNDS
Equipment1
ChemBiochem Newsletter
Student Scholarships
Travel2
UNOCAL Lectureship
Glassware
Supplies (chemicals, etc.)
Miscellaneous
Computer Accessories
Advisory Council
Seminar Program
Small Items of Equipment
lUV-Ms spectrophotometer, DNA sequencer, roto-evaporator, gam-
ma counter, ion exchange column compressor.
Funds were matched by the university and included travel for
students to attend scientific meetings to present research results.
In addition to the expenditures noted above, $5,000 was
placed in our endowment account, and approximately $4,500 in
pledges for 1994-95 is yet to be received.
On behalf of the students and faculty of the department, we
wish to take this opportunity to thank all who have assisted us in
our efforts to provide the best possible education for our students.
Clearly, without your help the quality of our instructional pro-
grams would have suffered significantly.
