Be Berkeley Loyal
When you make gifts — of any size to any place on campus — in each of the three most recent fiscal years (July 1–June 30) or two consecutive years if you’re a current Cal parent or student, you achieve the distinction of Berkeley Loyal. You are recognized for the total number of fiscal years in which you’ve made gifts to Cal.
Being Berkeley Loyal shows your dedication and belief in the transformational value of a UC Berkeley journey. As of 2025, more than 27,000 donor households qualify as Berkeley Loyal, with 220 households giving for 50 years or more! Berkeley Loyal members are the cornerstone of Berkeley’s success, helping the No. 1 public university in the world carry out its public mission.
