BIG GIVE IS OVER, BUT YOU CAN STILL SUPPORT YOUR FAVORITE PROGRAMS.
Berkeley Basic Needs Fund

Your gifts will help provide food, housing, and financial security needed for students to fuel their academic dreams at Berkeley.

“I was struggling to make ends meet during the last month of spring semester and suffered from food insecurity every day. I had no idea when my next meal was going to be, and I was too afraid to ask for help. After some guidance from my EOP counselor, I was connected to the Financial Aid Scholarships and Food Assistance Program. Within one day of emailing them, I was supplied with additional funds to my student account. Without this program, I would have continued to suffer in silence. This program is crucial to students coming from low-income homes, and I’m grateful for the assistance I was provided in my time of need.”
