At UC Irvine, our talented faculty and students work hard to generate new knowledge, find creative solutions to our world’s grand challenges, and serve our local and global communities in significant and far-reaching ways. But we don’t do it alone. We do it through the generosity of alumni, parents and friends – like our UC Irvine Foundation trustees – who want to make a difference.

The UC Irvine Foundation works to realize the brilliant future referenced in UC Irvine’s strategic plan by mobilizing support, creating partnerships and offering transformative guidance. The mission of the UC Irvine Foundation is to raise and manage private funds to support UC Irvine’s broader mission of excellence in teaching, research and public service.
