Our mission

The UCLA Chancellor’s Society program builds enduring relationships with alumni, parents, students and friends of the university, and secures leadership annual support for UCLA’s Chancellor and academic leaders in order to maintain and enrich UCLA’s tradition of world-class excellence.

Founded in 1966 through the vision of then-Chancellor Franklin Murphy, UCLA’s annual giving program strives to extend the University’s gratitude to those who invest their time and resources each year in making UCLA one of the world’s premier educational institutions.

Over the past five decades, the Chancellor’s Society has emerged as a dedicated community of annual donors that represents the model of philanthropic leadership at UCLA. Today, an impressive number of loyal and generous Chancellor’s Society members pave the way for the University’s future, and inspire others to take part through service and giving.
