Let’s celebrate YOU
We celebrate all donors to UC Davis, but employee donors have a unique connection to what we do and who we are. In recognition of your support, each year we invite employee donors to join us for complimentary in-person events like our Ice Cream Social with Chancellor May and exclusive Philanthropy Spotlight Tours that explore behind-the-scenes programming on campus. We also recognize supporters through our #GratiTuesday social media features, and surprise visits to honor donors during Employee Giving Month in April.
Join us for philanthropy tours and go behind-the-scenes
Each year Davis as UC it offers unique tours of an area of campus to employee donors. These Philanthropy Spotlight Tours are a way to thank our campus donors for supporting UC Davis, by sharing a behind-the-scenes look at programs that make our campus special.
These free events often take place around the lunch hour and have included tours of the Goat Dairy, the Botanical Conservatory, Aggie Compass, The Pantry, the UC Davis Coffee Center and the Gorman Museum. Invitations are sent via email to all the people on campus who support any area of UC Davis through payroll deduction, gifts on Give Day or any time during the fiscal year.
