Philanthropic Support to UC Davis Surpasses $100 Million for Third Consecutive Year

Gifts to UC Davis are used for the purpose that the donor defines and are accepted through either the UC Regents or the UC Davis Foundation, both of which are authorized to receive gifts for the university. The foundation, established in 1959 and now celebrating its 50th anniversary, receives private gifts to benefit UC Davis, invests its endowed gift funds and other private assets, and advises university leaders in areas related to public trust and support.
