Lasting Change Begins With You!

In the words of our Chancellor, Carol Christ, “being in the presence of a strong, supportive campus community is what allows us to take intellectual risks, to learn from one another, to model our values, and to thrive amidst an amazing diversity of origins and identities.” 

A big strength of our community is our diversity, which brings many different perspectives that are central to Berkeley's distinctive excellence and ability to serve our state, our country, and the world. Help us create a truly welcoming and inclusive community by supporting one of the projects below.  

From keeping Berkeley accessible to creating a greater sense of belonging, these special efforts are helping fulfill the promise of a strong, supportive community. Join us and make a gift today!

At the request of our community, this campaign has been extended through Wednesday, November 30, 2022.
