UC Berkeley Crowdfunding

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Berkeley Law alumni and friends, Suit Up Our 1Ls reached $15,000—an incredible 300% of our original $5,000 goal!

That means 30 Berkeley Law 1Ls will receive $500 grants to help cover the cost of professional clothing as they prepare for their first summer positions. For students managing the high cost of law school and living expenses, this support can make a meaningful difference.

We are especially grateful to everyone who contributed, shared the campaign, and helped spread the word. What began as a $5,000 goal quickly grew as our community rallied behind Berkeley Law students. Every gift brought us closer to our goal—and our final $500 donation put us over the finish line!

Thank you for helping Berkeley Law students enter their first professional experiences with greater confidence and fewer financial barriers. You helped us Suit Up Our 1Ls!

With 9 hours left, we are $700 away from achieving our stretch goal of $15,000! Please share with your communities and networks in these last few hours. Thank you all so much for your support in providing our students with both the wardrobe and the confidence they need when they walk into their interviews. We are so grateful for your generosity!

We did it! Thanks to your generosity and the incredible support of the Berkeley Law community, we've reached our $10,000 fundraising goal for Suit Up Our 1Ls.

Together, you've helped provide more first-year Berkeley Law students with access to professional attire for interviews and networking opportunities, ensuring they can focus on showcasing their talents—not the cost of a suit. Your generosity is opening doors and creating opportunities at a pivotal moment, as recruiting begins as early as October of students' first year.

Because of this extraordinary response, we're raising our goal to $15,000 so we can help even more students prepare for success.

Thank you for believing in our students and making this campaign such a success. If you'd like to help us reach our new goal, we invite you to share the campaign with your friends, classmates, and fellow Berkeley Law alumni. Every share expands our reach and helps more members of our community invest in the next generation of Berkeley lawyers.

Together, we're helping more Berkeley Law students suit up for success.
