Emergency Funds
Supporting each other through tough times

Emergencies can happen to any of us at any time--not just during a pandemic. 

That is why UC Davis has a series of emergency funds that provide support for students and employees during difficult times and keep them on track for the long run.

Philanthropic support has been key to the university’s ability to provide food, emergency housing and other crucial resources to students, patients and employees who face difficult circumstances.

Your gift to any of our emergency funds below supports much-needed resources to help mitigate the social and economic consequences of COVID-19, as well as other emergencies that students and employee face every day. Gifts of any size make a difference.

  • Aggie Compass Basic Needs Center
  • ASUCD - The Pantry
  • Staff Emergency Fund
  • Student Emergency Relief Aid Fund

Thank you for your generous support—now and always.
