The UC Irvine ANTrepreneur Center is where ambitious students transform ideas into thriving ventures. From first-generation college students to transfer students, we empower ALL Anteaters – including those traditionally underrepresented in entrepreneurship – to build the skills, networks, and confidence to launch successful careers and businesses.

Your Giving Day gift directly fuels student startups and creates pathways to economic mobility. Alumni investing in our students, will join a growing network of Anteater entrepreneurs who are paying it forward.
*Every $500 raised helps support five more students as they explore entrepreneurship.
*Every $1,000 raised helps fund a student startup.
*Every $5,000 raised helps provide an entrepreneurship scholarship to a student.

Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or simply passionate about innovation, there are meaningful ways to support beyond making a gift:
- Spreading the word about Giving Day to your friends and your community.
- Exploring and sharing entrepreneurial success stories from our students, alumni, and supporters.
- Mentoring current students at the ANTrepreneur Center and joining our Corporate Circle.
- Engaging with our social media content by following our accounts, joining our groups, and commenting on/liking/sharing posts that resonate with you.
Your generous support fuels the spirit of our student entrepreneurs at UC Irvine, enabling them to realize their academic and business aspirations. We deeply appreciate your commitment to shaping the future of our ANTrepreneurs, so please consider donating today!
