Give $8 for an 8-clap

 

Give back $8 for an 8-clap to a program or department that means the most to you. Your gift has an immediate impact on your UCLA experience and the area that you choose to support.

Consider making a gift of $20.19 to invest in this school year and ensure that your favorite aspects of UCLA continue to thrive. Last year, students came together and raised $98,000 to help their fellow Bruins.

Join the Bruin tradition of leadership with a gift of $100. Your gift places you in UCLA’s Chancellor’s Society with additional benefits that include:

  • Access to a personal campus liaison

Supporting your academic experience at UCLA is the best way to invest in the value of your degree and enrich your curriculum as a student. Your gift helps ensure that the programs, the professors, and the academic experience you benefit from continue to thrive.
Your Libraries

It’s hard to imagine your student experience without the resources offered by the UCLA libraries. With innovative programs like Night Powell, and access to UC holdings second only to the Library of Congress, UCLA libraries are vital to earning your degree.
Student Initiatives

Life outside of the classroom is key to the Bruin experience. Support clubs, campus organizations, residential life and essential student services. Your gift ensures a dynamic experience that complements classroom learning and enhances the personal and professional growth of all Bruins.
Scholarships

Over half of UCLA students receive some form of financial aid. Your gift supports your friends and peers who may not otherwise be able to afford a UCLA education.

FAQ

Q: I already pay tuition, why should I give more?
A: Most Bruins don’t realize that your tuition and state funds only cover 15% of your UCLA education. UCLA is able to thrive due to private support that helps bridge the actual cost of attending UCLA. Your own UCLA experience has largely been supplemented by students, alumni, faculty, staff, friends, corporations, and foundations. By supporting UCLA Fund through giving back to your favorite program or department you are helping ensure your own UCLA experience is top notch.

Q: Does my participation matter?
A: Yes! Publications like the U.S. News & World Report use philanthropy as a factor to rank UCLA and determine overall student satisfaction. Foundations and corporations also use these rankings as a factor when they evaluating grant funding and prospective gifts. Your gift as a student has great influence!

Q: How does being a donor affect me?
A: The UCLA Fund’s Young Alumni and Student Giving programs have built up an expansive network of Bruins to provide support to all of our donors. Being a donor, makes UCLA a smaller and more intimate experience. Additionally, if you become a member of the Chancellor’s Society (with a gift of $100 or more) you will have the opportunity to connect with other esteemed donors in the Chancellor’s Circle by being invited to exclusive events and networking opportunities as well as the end of the year Chancellor’s Reception.

Q: Where does my gift go to?
A: One of the great things about giving to UCLA is that you have the opportunity to designate your gift to over 250 different funds. These funds include academic departments, student programs, scholarships, and more. Student Giving at UCLA is about YOU. We want to make sure each student can give back to the area that they care about most.
