UCLA is your university. It is defined not only by its outstanding students, faculty and programs, but also by the countless individuals who invest generously of themselves to ensure that the university thrives.

The UCLA Foundation plays a unique role in mobilizing such individuals. Through the Foundation, philanthropically-minded people find their passion and share their energies, and in doing so become a part of something much greater than themselves.

The result is a stronger, more vibrant university. An institution supported by citizens from a broad range of segments is more robust, responsive and relevant than an institution that relies on only a few.

We believe the examples featured in these pages make this case. And we hope they will inspire you to consider the ways your participation can translate to great things.
