Giving to UC DavisThe UC Davis Foundation —a 501(c)3 organization—was established in 1959 to administer charitable gifts that support this campus. The UC Davis Foundation has a rich history of stewarding private contributions that advance the university’s mission. Gifts made through the foundation leverage the core funding the university receives from the state of California, enhancing UC Davis’ ability to teach, discover and serve the public in ways that shape the future of our world.

Contact information:(530) [email protected]/giving

Support for endowed chairs allows Cooperative Extension specialist and groundwater expert Thomas Harter to conduct research and outreach programs that lead to clean and safe drinking water.

•gifts to the college are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by the iRS.

•Bequests provided through wills, trusts, or other vehicles may be designated to the college as a whole or a specific program a donor wishes to strengthen long term.

•Endowments are permanent funds that lock in a donor’s desired impact. Endowments may be established to strengthen programs, specific faculty positions, or student support funds.

•Current use gifts are spent as the donor directs in a short period of time. These funds provide immediate and strategic support to a program or student.

UC Davis is a talent pipeline. its graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are the new generation of leaders for industry.

UC Davis’ combination of research, teaching, and industry outreach are proven drivers of the California economy and help solve society’s critical issues.

Technology under development by UC Davis engineers is helping modernize processing tomato assessment techniques. Biological systems engineering professor David Slaughter (right, with inspector Tom Ramme), has spent more than a decade developing a biosensor inspection kit that detects and quantifies mold, one of the factors that determines the quality grade in truckloads of tomatoes.
