UC Davis Foundation
Founded in 1959, the UC Davis Foundation is led by a volunteer fundraising board that helps to raise and increase philanthropic support, advocates for the university and manages a portion of the university’s endowment. The foundation receives private gifts to benefit UC Davis; manages its endowed gift funds and other private assets; and advises university leaders in areas related to public trust and support. The endowed funds it manages provide faculty, student and program support in perpetuity.
Role of the UC Davis Foundation
The foundation plays a vital role in generating much-needed private support for UC Davis. While the state of California provides critical core support to the university, philanthropic support is essential to maintaining our margin of excellence in all areas of education and research. The gifts that UC Davis receives through the foundation make a tremendous impact on the university, its students, faculty and programs. The UC Davis Foundation gratefully accepts gifts on behalf of the university and helps to ensure that those gifts present even greater opportunities for the university.
The tax ID number for gifts to the UC Davis Foundation is 94-6081352. For gifts directed to the UC Regents, the tax ID number is 94-6036494. All Annual Fund gifts, including those to the colleges and schools, are processed through the UC Davis Foundation. Giving opportunities on the UC Davis Giving site are administered via the UC Davis Foundation and the UC Regents, depending on the fund. Please call UC Davis at (530) 754-4438 to obtain the proper Tax ID number.
Board of Trustees
The foundation is run by an all-volunteer board of trustees.
