Why Give?

You effect real change in the world

No matter where your passion or interest lies, when you invest in UCLA, your gift has an outsize impact. Gifts of all sizes combine to create a circle of support and a momentum of change that go beyond the borders of campus, into the local community and out into the world. Discoveries made at UCLA have a ripple effect — not just in academia, but in society as a whole.


Changing Lives

In your community and the world

Professor embraces former gang member. UCLA Community School students smile. Doctor treats homeless man.

Gifts large and small have an impact on the campus, the city of Los Angeles and beyond. Consider student scholarships: 65% of undergraduates get some kind of financial aid. That's one reason the New York Times ranks UCLA first among elite colleges when it comes to economic diversity and upward mobility.

And our students, alumni and faculty improve the lives of others. The cumulative power of giving makes possible gene therapies, safer beaches, smarter streets, a more sustainable city and a more equitable society.


"My connection with UCLA endures through our common goal to empower others, just as the university empowered me with help from donors like you."

— Ajwang Rading '14, Jackie Robinson Scholar, Co-founder, UCLA Global Citizens Fellowship

Innovation and Discovery

Harness the power of UCLA

We are on the cusp of a new era. Advancements in technology, science and medicine are happening at an exponential rate; the breakthroughs that once took lifetimes now happen every day. UCLA nourishes innovation not only in our labs and hospitals, but in the arts, social sciences and humanities. From a storytelling institute in France to a center for musical humanities on campus, UCLA embraces the future. Your dream may be next.
