Big Give: 24 Hours to Support the Cal Alumni Association

A gift to the Cal Alumni Association (CAA) during Big Give ensures that Cal alumni and students can continue connecting to UC Berkeley through meaningful experiences.

The 2023 Big Give has now ended.

Thank you for your continued support of CAA’s programming and the Cal community.

What Is Big Give?

Every year, the Cal Alumni Association joins our campus in Big Give, UC Berkeley’s annual day of giving. Support from alumni and friends like you furthers our mission to provide programs and resources for UC Berkeley alumni, students, and friends.

CAA Programs' Impact

  • “This [Cal Discoveries Travel] trip renewed my zest for life after two years of quarantine.”

    Christine F.

  • “[Through the Cal Alumni Mentors program] we’re creating a cycle of community and enhancing relationships across the globe for folks that may not have ever been able to meet each other.”

    Jason Gant ’09

  • “[The Lair] is my favorite place on the planet—it is where I met my wife and many of my friends, and a longtime family vacation that will always be special.”

Your Donation to the Cal Alumni Association Makes a BIG Difference

Build Community

Through the donations of CAA friends like you, the Lair was able to build 10 winterized cabins in 2022 so that campers can gather at the Lair year-round. Your gift today can support more community-building programs that bring UC Berkeley alumni, students, and friends together.
