Employee Giving Month in April

Get Involved!

Here are some of the ways our colleagues at UC Davis are making a difference.

Each April, we highlight the spirit of philanthropy by celebrating Employee Giving Month. This also coincides with Give Day, where you have an opportunity to impact thousands of programs and scholarship across our campuses. You can become a Social Ambassador and leverage your networks to inspire others to invest in the work we do each day. To support your outreach, we’ve created some tools and signatures for download.
