Join us to support the Annual Fund during Give Day 2026
The Annual Fund supports faculty research, scholarships and areas of greatest need at UC Davis.
Unrestricted funding, provided by the Annual Fund, supports key university programs and allows Chancellor May the flexibility he needs to respond quickly to critical emerging needs and opportunities. That is why unrestricted support is one of the most powerful investments you can make, it removes financial restraints and provides us with staying power.
This Give Day, help us strengthen research and teaching at UC Davis through the power of the Annual Fund. Your gift of any size will help us stay nimble in the face of emergencies and new industrial developments so we can always support our students in their career goals.
For over 25 years the Chancellor's Fellows program has promoted creative and scientific inquiries at UC Davis. More than two hundred faculty have charted new territory in cellular biology, teen bullying, writing and artistic expression, climate change, public health, empowering the underserved, searching for life on Mars, and more.
Chancellor’s Achievement Awards allow high-performing California students from underserved backgrounds to pursue their education here. Most recipients are part of the 42 percent of our undergraduates who are first generation to college. These awards are key to keeping a UC Davis education accessible to all. Because excellence and diversity are not mutually exclusive.
This Give Day, help us strengthen research, teaching, inclusion and flexibility at UC Davis through the power of the Annual Fund!
