Giving to the UCLA SPACE Institute

Maintaining UCLA’s position as a world leader in the physical sciences is of the utmost importance in order to reap the benefits of our research and speed the pace of discovery, for the benefit of all of society. Yet state funding for UCLA continues its downward trend, and there is renewed urgency to invest in UCLA physical sciences. 

The University seeks major philanthropic investment to create the UCLA SPACE Institute, envisioned as a world-leading hub for scientific research, technological innovation and private sector/government partnerships. An institute of this scope will propel revolutionary advances in space physics and technology, impact life on Earth in myriad ways, spark new industry ventures, and influence the course of space and galactic exploration for decades to come. Avenues to give include annual gifts, endowments that live on in perpetuity, corporate matches and participation in the Physical Sciences Corporate Partners Program, foundational grants, and bequests or other planned gifts.

Space Science "Match" Opportunity

Qualifying gifts of $100,000 to $1 million to establish Space Science endowments through the Physical Sciences Matching Gift Program will be matched at 50%. Funding is limited, so please contact one of the development professionals below.

Your gift, regardless of its size, will have an impact, so I hope you will consider investing in the faculty, students, and research of the UCLA SPACE Institute.

Thank you for your continued support.

Dean of Physical Sciences
