Our Donation Philosophy
Our philanthropic approach is built on three key pillars.
01
Fellowship Programs
We support programs that facilitate students’ engagement in professional and academic advancement within specialized fields not covered by standard curriculum. Our contributions enable fellowships that provide access to practical laboratory training, immersion experiences, and research roles.
02
Entrepreneurship Education
We invest in enhancing entrepreneurship education and training offerings on campus. This includes student accelerators, bootcamps, and the development of innovative curricula that prepare Berkeley students to bring their ideas to life.
03
Support for Underfunded Areas
We seek out and support less obvious causes on campus that have traditionally received limited donor attention. These often include smaller programs with significant potential but lacking promotion or visibility.
