UC Irvine Giving Day 2025

This Giving Day, join the UC Irvine Claire Trevor School of the Arts in celebrating the power of creativity, research and collaboration by making a gift to one of our four departments of excellence — Art, Dance, Drama or Music. Your generosity supports innovative programs, fosters interdisciplinary exploration, and empowers students to push artistic boundaries in new and impactful ways.

Last year, our community of Arts alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends came together to make Giving Day an incredible success. This year, let’s build on that momentum to expand opportunities for students and deepen the impact of the arts at UC Irvine.

Magnify Your Impact with Matches and Challenges

On Giving Day, your gift — of any amount — goes further! Every match and challenge you support throughout the day unlocks additional funding to fuel opportunities for Arts students. 

We invite you to invest in the next generation of creative leaders by making a gift to the Department of Art, Dance, Drama or Music.

Your generous support creates impact:

• Empowering Students: Providing scholarships, residencies and visiting artist experiences that spark new creative discoveries.
  
  
• Inspiring Collaboration: Supporting interdisciplinary projects that bridge art, science, technology, and culture, expanding the boundaries of creative expression.
  
  
• Transforming Spaces: Expanding access to state-of-the-art studios, stages and creative hubs where students experiment and refine their craft.
  
  
• Deepening Community Impact: Advancing faculty-led initiatives that connect the arts to social, scientific, and cultural dialogues in meaningful ways.

Shape the Future of the Arts at UC Irvine

Every gift empowers students and faculty to push boundaries, reimagine artistic expression, and connect through creativity. Thank you for being an integral part of this vision. Your generosity fuels the spaces where students experiment and innovate, the opportunities that shape their careers, and the creative intersections that make UC Irvine a leader in the arts. 

Together, we champion the future of artistic excellence.
