This is the first comprehensive campaign to raise
private funds to ensure UCSB's excellence for future generations.
The original goal was to raise $350 million in private gifts and
pledges, and more than half that amount was received in the "quiet
phase" of the campaign—thanks to our dedicated volunteer
leaders and our generous supporters, who have demonstrated their
commitment to our campus by investing in its future. In May 2005,
the Campaign Steering Committee decided to increase the goal to
$500 million.
The public phase of the campaign began on October
2, 2004, with a celebratory kickoff event on campus that featured
a video message from Michael
Douglas, the Academy Award winner and UCSB alumnus, who serves
as Honorary Chair of the campaign. Other campaign-related events
have been held in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orange County, San
Diego, New York, and Washington, D.C. Our alumni, our friends in
the community, faculty and staff members, our students and their
parents are all playing an important role in this endeavor, and
we greatly appreciate their steadfast support. These web pages offer
information about the campaign and its volunteer leaders, a
message from Chancellor Henry Yang, and information on some
of the many leadership gifts that have been received, among other
things. You'll also find links to the Development
Office with more information about fund raising on behalf of
UC Santa Barbara.
