The University of California Endowment

The University of California Endowment is a dedicated fund that provides financial support specifically for UC programs, research, and initiatives aimed at improving education, health, and public service in California. Managed separately from the university’s general budget, it helps fund projects that align with the university’s mission to benefit the community and advance knowledge. Essentially, it’s a reserve of resources intended to sustain and expand UC’s contributions to society, often supporting innovations, scholarships, and public service efforts that might otherwise lack sufficient funding.
