LIGHT THE WAY: THE CAMPAIGN FOR BERKELEY
In February 2020, the university publicly launched the largest
fundraising campaign in its history, to raise $6 billion by the end
of 2023. The ambitious goal-the highest set by any U.S. public
university without a medical school-aims to secure UC Berkeley's
status as the world's top public research and teaching university
at a time when the state funds about 14 percent of its budget.
Since its quiet phase began January 1, 2014, the campaign has
already raised over $4.3 billion.
The campaign is focused on continuing UC Berkeley's tradition of
comprehensive academic excellence, as well as its public mission
and reputation as a powerful agent of upward mobility for
low-income students. Funding priorities include creating 100 new
tenure-track faculty positions; 300 new graduate student
fellowships; a dramatic increase in the number of undergraduate
scholarships; campus housing for all freshmen, sophomores and
first-year transfer students; and support for research to transform
health, the environment, and society.
