Support Big Ideas Tackling California Climate Change

Big Ideas@Berkeley identifies and encourages students to develop solutions to the problems that matter most to them and their generation. In a year-long process of advising, skills training, mentorship, and seed funding, we help students translate their academic work and their diverse experiences into direct impact.

To date, over 11,000 students from 100 different majors have participated. Of the 550 social impact ventures launched through Big Ideas since 2006, nearly 50% are still in operation. With the training and the $3M in seed funding we've invested in these students, they've gone on to secure more than $1B in additional investment, transforming their ideas into solutions that are now making an impact across the world.

This Fall of 2023, we are launching a new effort devoted specifically to climate change challenges in California.  We will employ the time-tested Big Ideas@Berkeley Methodology to provide training and seed awards to very early-stage, student-led projects focused on climate change innovations in California.  

Thank you for considering a gift to support the Big Ideas@Berkeley students!
