The University of California Board of Regents lent its support to Inspiring Change: The Campaign for UC Santa Cruz during its Jan. 21 meeting at UCLA, formally voting to endorse the fundraising campaign.
Inspiring Change: The Campaign for UC Santa Cruz is a comprehensive effort to raise $750 million by the end of 2030 so that UC Santa Cruz can continue to accelerate its positive impact on the region, California, and globally through transformative education, high impact research, and service that benefits the public.
The second comprehensive fundraising campaign launched by UC Santa Cruz, Inspiring Change is organized around five interconnected priorities:
- Life-changing educational experiences;
- Bold solutions to climate impacts and environmental challenges;
- Regional and global community health and wellness;
- Research frontiers and groundbreaking innovations; and
- Creativity, artistic expression, and transformative dialogue.
Chancellor Cynthia Larive and Vice Chancellor for University Advancement Mark Delos Reyes Davis outlined the goals, timeline, and priorities of the campaign before the full board.
“Our campaign priorities reflect long-standing strengths — areas where UC Santa Cruz is already leading — and where philanthropy can most effectively accelerate our impact,” Larive said. “And while each priority is powerful on its own, their real strength is how they interconnect, with students at the center of everything we do.”
