Give Day 2023

Give

2023 ECE 100+ Gift Today Challenge:

Help ECE to get more than 100 gifts this year.   Last year ECE received 98 gifts that raised >$30K.  For 2023 we already received $10K matching gift that will be unlocked provided we raise at least another $10K! All donations greater than $5 directly go to provide our ECE students with cutting-edge education to be successful in their careers.  Funds are used for essential supplies and tools students use in our newly renovated teaching labs, acquisition and maintenance of equipment, support design projects, student clubs, small grants to students in need, etc..

To participate in the Gift Day 2023 competition for the largest number of gifts, please submit a gift between now and April 15th. By giving early, you don’t have to remember to do it during the Give Day window of 29-hours (noon April 14 to 5 pm April 15); your donation will be included in the Department’s totals on Give Day.  

Matching Gift Programs

Several employers sponsor matching gift programs to match charitable contributions made by their employees. Find out if your company offers a matching gift by typing in your employer’s name in our database. We encourage you to request such a match for the UC Davis Foundation to benefit the “Electrical and Computer Engineering Excellence Fund”. Your human resources office is usually the best place to start if you think you might be able to have your gift matched. Please contact Leigh Ann Hartman, Assistant Dean of Development and External Relations in the College of Engineering for any questions.

Make a Gift 

When a gift is submitted you will see two drop-down boxes. Areas to Support should already say “College of Engineering”. You will need to populate the Fund Designation drop-down box with “Electrical and Computer Engineering Excellence Fund” as shown below.
