The Susan Scott Foundation has committed a generous $100,000 challenge gift to advance stem cell research at UC Irvine. This extraordinary gift will be unlocked when 25 supporters make a donation on Giving Day.

The Foundation believes deeply in advancing research from the bench to the bedside—ensuring promising discoveries reach patients and families who need them most. Your gift today helps make that progress possible.

Why Your Gift Matters

Stem cell and gene therapy research are transforming the future of medicine—repairing injury, fighting disease and restoring hope. Support for the SCRC fuels breakthroughs that could revolutionize treatment for conditions ranging from vision loss and spinal cord injury to blood disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.

How the Challenge Works 

  • Goal: 25 gifts to unlock $100,000
  • Impact: Every gift counts—each one moves us closer to releasing the full challenge gift
  • Deadline: Giving Day only—do not miss this opportunity to maximize your impact


This is your moment to join a community of supporters driving meaningful change. Every gift, of any size, helps propel discoveries that can transform lives.
