Join us to support the Parents Fund this Give Day 2026
Giving to the Parents Fund is one of the best ways you can help keep UC Davis strong for your student.
Unrestricted funding, provided by the Parents 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 Parents Fund. Your gift of any size will help keep the university nimble in the face of emergencies and compete in emerging industries.
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. Often these research projects provide students with career-building lab experience that help them find jobs after graduation.
Chancellor’s Achievement Awards allow high-performing California students from underserved backgrounds to pursue their education. 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 inclusiveness are not mutually exclusive.
This Give Day, help us strengthen research, teaching, inclusion and innovation at UC Davis through the power of the Parents Fund. Your gift of any size will have an enormous impact.
