The Campaign for UC San Diego was our 10-year, university-wide comprehensive fundraising effort to enhance student support, ensure student success, transform our campus, connect our community, spark innovative research, and redefine medicine and health care on a global scale. We completed our ambitious campaign on June 30, 2022, raising a total of $3.05 billion.
We invite you to explore the impact of the Campaign for UC San Diego and learn more about the incredible momentum of ideas we have built together and how we will continue to make our campus — and our world — a better place.
A campaign like nonother
When UC San Diego became the youngest university in the country to surpass a multibillion-dollar fundraising milestone in a single campaign — and $3 billion raised in the Campaign for UC San Diego — we knew it was thanks to a boldly nontraditional community of donors, believers and doers.
