UCLA is a university without borders. Its reach and impact extend well beyond campus, enriching the broader global community through its discoveries and breakthroughs.

Each new achievement—in research, teaching or public service—allows UCLA to reach out to the world, and brings the world to UCLA. Challenges posed by a struggling economy during the past year remind us that we cannot succeed alone.

Partnerships, forged under the leadership of The UCLA Foundation, ensure that once the university's lights are on, innovation ensues and excellence flourishes.

The examples highlighted on these pages demonstrate some of the ways in which private philanthropy enables our faculty and students to effect exponential change. Your support is a catalyst for remarkable opportunities.
