UCI Giving Day 2024

Parent and Family Engagement is driven 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 grow together is through partnership and collaboration. That is why this Giving Day we have teamed up with some of our 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 programmatic needs that positively impact a diverse range of students during their journey at UCI.

Anteater Grant Initiatives (AGI): Gifts to the Anteater Grant Initiatives fund are one of the 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. These funds help students actively reach for opportunities that they may have previously perceived as beyond their reach. That spark of hope and motivation can translate to real life stories of success and growth.

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 LGBT Resource Center: Gifts to the UCI Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Resource Center fund provide a wide range of education and advocacy services supporting intersectional identity development. Resources include areas such as peer to peer support, a library of sources, and a safe space to explore identity.

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 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 Womxn’s Center: Gifts to the Womxn’s Center for Success supports programming and community connections that highlight social justice concepts, personal growth, identity development, and that ultimately provide access to resources that support holistic well-being.

UCI DREAM Center: Gifts to the DREAM Center contribute to the growth of resources, informational programs, and scholarship support intended to uplift and develop community for UCI students impacted by immigration policy.

We encourage you 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!
