Employee Giving
Support UC Davis and UC Davis Health for Give Day and Employee Giving Month!

Davis as UC it encourages all of our employees at UC Davis Health and the UC Davis main campus to find a an area of UC Davis or UC Davis Health that is personally meaningful to them and support it.

Gifts can be given on Give Day and during Employee Giving Month each April. Another option is a monthly payroll deduction, which offers the steady support our programs need most.

There are many deserving places at UC Davis that would benefit from your support and a gift of any size makes a difference.

A few common areas of support are listed below.

The Staff Emergency Fund provides quick cash awards of up to $1,000 to staff members experiencing urgent financial hardship. Established in Fall 2020 in response to COVID-19, the awards has helped over 100 employees cover emergencies related to housing, food, utilities, transportation and funeral costs. The fund needs replenishment in order to keep providing this crucial help.

Aggie Compass supports emergency housing for students through the College Focused Rapid Rehousing program. It provides safe, stable housing for houseless students as well as a meal plan and intense case management designed to promote holistic and academic success. This year, the UC Davis Retirees' Association and the Emeriti Association are mobilizing support for a global challenge that leverages gifts to any fund on campus.

Please give today so we can support more of our staff and students experiencing hardships. A gift of any size truly makes a difference.

Thank you for your support, now and always.
