Departmental Overview

University Development and Alumni Relations (UDAR), increases support for and enhances knowledge of UC Berkeley through communications, public outreach, and fundraising. UDAR is responsible for fundraising and donor engagement, and works to strengthen unit development offices by consulting and partnering with campus fundraisers. UDAR also handles a range of central activities and services encompassing events, communications, stewardship, prospect development, gift
management, database management, and more.

In 2019-20 UC Berkeley raised a record $1.04 billion from 117,533 gifts, pledges, and private grants. The totals represent contributions from more than 61,000 donors, reflecting an increase of $404 million in gifts, pledges, and private grants over the previous fiscal year.

Light the Way: The Campaign for UC 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 $3.8 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.

The Student Experience & Diversity Fundraising (SED) program within the division of University Development and Alumni Relations leads fundraising to support the success of Berkeley students and the advancement of educational equity. As the lead philanthropic unit on behalf of the divisions of Equity and Inclusion, Student Affairs and Undergraduate Education, the SED student-focused fundraising priorities include financial aid/scholarships, co-curricular support, and diversity, equity and inclusion.
