Parent & Family Campaign for Student Success
When everybody gives, we all gain.

Parent and Family Engagement is here to connect our Anteater Family to meaningful opportunities within the university. Working together we help expand and enhance resources, programming, and the renowned UC Irvine student experience to unlock its highest potential. We believe the best way to get there is through partnership and collaboration. That is why this Giving Day we have teamed up with a few campus partners to highlight key areas that help enrich student life on campus. Your gift, regardless of size, helps reach participation goals which unlock funds for different programmatic needs.  



Anteater Grant Initiatives (AGI): Gifts to the Anteater Grant Initiatives fund are one of the simplest and most powerful ways a parent can enrich the student experience. Each year, AGI grants provide funding to units that result in the creation of programs and resources directly impacting the UCI student body.

UCI Basic Needs Center: Gifts to the UCI Basic Needs fund provide vital resources to students who struggle with food and housing insecurity. Your gift to this initiative will help the UCI Basic Needs Center to expand their food pantry, offer rental assistance, and provide other essential services that support the well-being of our students.

UCI Counseling Center: Gifts to the Wellness Health Counseling Services fund provide mental health services and support to students. Your gift to this initiative will help ensure that students have access to the resources they need to maintain their mental health and well-being. With your support, we can make sure that our students receive the care and support they need to thrive.

UCI Disability Services Center: Gifts to the Disability Services Center Scholarship Fund help support scholarships for students with disabilities. Your gift to this scholarship fund will support students registered with the DSC who are experiencing financial hardship. 

UCI Division of Career Pathways: Gifts to the Division of Career Pathways fund provides career guidance and job placement services to students and alumni. This year, your gift will help DCP procure a professional headshoot photobooth, opening access to professional headshots for more than 2000 student users each year as well as use by all of student club affiliate members. By investing in the Division of Career Pathways, you are investing in the future of our students.

UCI Study Abroad Center: Gifts to the Study Abroad Center fund will enable students to have life-changing experiences by studying abroad. These experiences can broaden students' horizons and equip them with the skills and perspectives needed to thrive in an interconnected world. Your support can help to make these experiences accessible to students from all backgrounds.

We hope you will consider making a gift to one or more of these important initiatives. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference in the lives of our students. Thank you for your support!
