Give to Cal - Support Excellence

The University of California at Berkeley has been fulfilling its promise to serve California and the world as a public trust since 1868. The knowledge, discoveries, and technologies that are nurtured and created in Berkeley labs, classrooms, and libraries improve the lives of people around the world.

Because the state of California no longer provides the bulk of Cal’s budget, the support of alumni, parents, and friends is crucial to fulfill the University’s mission of excellence in teaching, research, and public service.

Your support helps Berkeley’s students and faculty pursue their work across the campus and around the world. It also helps Cal reach out to future generations of students. Through your support, UC Berkeley can continue to generate the kind of talent and ideas that set it apart as the most distinguished public research university in the world.
