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

UC Davis on average receives about 21 percent of its total budget annually from the state, and receives additional support from a variety of funding sources, including donors. UC Davis has crossed the $100 million threshold three times before, including the past two years.

“UC Davis continues to progress among the top universities in the nation,” said Beverly “Babs” Sandeen, vice chancellor for University Relations and president of the UC Davis Foundation. “Our university thrives as a public-private partnership. Gift support works in synergy with state support, helping to leverage vital state funding. In this way, UC Davis is able to continue to serve, and to excel in teaching, research and public service.”
