Student Giving
Bleed purple. Give gold.
Think about what makes your Cal Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ experience special. The professors who know your name. The friendships that will last a lifetime. The opportunities that challenge you to grow, discover your passions, and prepare for the future.
Behind so many of these experiences are generous donors who believe in Cal Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ and in students like you.
Now, you have the opportunity to pay it forward.
Your gift—no matter the size—helps strengthen the Cal Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ experience for students today and for those who will follow in your footsteps. More importantly, your participation shows your Cal Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ pride and sends a powerful message that students believe in the community they are helping to build.
You are part of what makes Cal Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ special. Your gift helps make that possible for the next generation.
Bleed Purple. Give Gold. Give Back.
Every gift makes a difference. Every student counts.

Oak Tree Society 
Giving for 3+​ consecutive years
The oak tree has often been used as a symbol of strength, nobility, and longevity. Similarly, the Oak Tree Society honors donors who have shown a commitment to making an unrestricted gift for three or more years consecutively. A gift, no matter the size, big or small, that is given every year to the University grows to the power of an oak tree when it is joined with gifts from other Cal Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends.
Oak Tree Society members are recognized at Cal Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ events as well as on our websites and on printed donor lists by the symbol of an oak leaf next to their names.
