Give Back

Each year, alumni give back to Berkeley by supporting scholarships and financial aid for high-achieving students in Upper Division. To date, Alumni Annual Giving has provided seven full-tuition scholarships. If you have any questions, please reach out to Anne Cox Williams ’02, Director of the Berkeley Fund and Alumni Annual Giving, at williann@cnlawyer18.com.

MAKE A GIFT

In reunion years, each celebrating class comes together in support of their alma mater to make a meaningful gift to scholarship at Berkeley. The class with the highest giving is bestowed the Reunion Giving Cup. If you have any questions, please reach out to Anne Cox Williams ’02, Director of the Berkeley Fund and Alumni Annual Giving, at williann@cnlawyer18.com.

MAKE A REUNION GIFT

Endowed gifts are transformational gifts that ensure the future of the Berkeley experience for generations of students to come. Endowed funds provide a reliable source of income that will allow Berkeley to retain the best faculty, attract the brightest and most talented students, and follow through on our vision “to put people in the world who make a positive difference.”

EXPLORE ENDOWED GIFTS AT BERKELEY

We recognize Berkeley’s most loyal and generous alumni supporters through giving societies. The True Blue Bucs Society is a giving club that celebrates those alumni who have made annual gifts to Berkeley for at least five years consecutively. Alumni who make annual gifts totaling $3,500 or more are honored as members of the Societies for Excellence and recognized at special appreciation events. The Young Alumni Leadership Circle is a giving society for alumni from the classes of 2009-2020.

LEARN MORE ABOUT GIVING SOCIETIES

The Berkeley Alumni Association hosts two fundraising events each year to provide unique and meaningful opportunities for investment in our alma mater, the Berkeley Open Golf Tournament and the Buccaneer Inshore Invasion Fishing Tournament. We rely on a committee of alumni volunteers and strong financial support from the alumni community to make these events a success.

We rely on members of reunion classes to help make sure their reunion is one to remember! If you are interested in helping organize your reunion, please reach out to Billy Phillips ’15, Assistant Director of Alumni Engagement, at phillwil@cnlawyer18.com.

Throughout the school year, there may be opportunities for alumni to share their experiences with students at career lunches or panels. Alumni may also have the opportunity to host or mentor students exploring specific career paths. Please reach out to Billy Phillips ’15, Assistant Director of Alumni Engagement, at phillwil@cnlawyer18.com if you are interested in sharing your experiences with current Berkeley students.
