Our Crowdfunding Groups
When UCLA was founded in 1919, it only offered a two-year undergraduate program, with no option to receive a bachelor’s degree. In 1923, the UC Board of Regents approved expansions that established the UCLA College of Letters and Science. This year, we celebrate the first 100 years of the UCLA College.
To honor this significant moment in our history, we are paying tribute to the incredible story of the UCLA College and its community, from our faculty and student successes to the enduring commitment and vision of our donors. After all, for the past seven years, UCLA has been the No. 1 public university in the U.S. and the UCLA College, the academic heart of the university, is an important reason why.
The UCLA College is home to more than three-quarters of the university’s undergraduate students — as well as more than 350,000 living alumni. With five divisions — Humanities, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences and Undergraduate Education, the College encompasses more than 50 departments and programs, 100 undergraduate majors, 60 graduate degree programs and 40 Ph.D. programs.
For the past 100 years, our world-renowned faculty and talented students have defined our legacy as a place where interdisciplinary research flourishes, ideas are shared, and leaders are trained to tackle the challenges of the future. Make a gift today to ensure that our academic community can remain at the forefront of research, education, and discovery while creating positive change in Los Angeles, California, and the world over the course of the next 100 years.

Gifts are managed and invested in accordance with UCLA's endowment investment policies. The total return earned in excess of the amount approved annually for payout will be retained in the endowment principal to protect from the effects of inflation and to allow for growth. At the discretion of the appropriate campus office, when the payout is not needed for purposes of the fund, the return of payout may be added to the endowment fund principal. In the event the fund does not reach the endowment minimum; or the program ceases to exist at UCLA, proceeds from the fund will be utilized in an area and manner as closely related as possible to the original intent and purposes for which the fund was established.
Although the Endowment is intended to exist in perpetuity, unforeseen circumstances may alter or remove the subject area from the campus academic plan or it may become impossible, impracticable or wasteful to administer. In such an event, the Chancellor is authorized to redesignate the purpose of the Endowment, after taking into consideration the designated endowment purpose.
