By Phone: Call Gift Services at 510.643.9789 during the 24 hour giving period.

By Check: Mail to UC Berkeley Foundation, 1995 University Ave., Suite 400, Berkeley, CA 94704.
- Donations made by check and received after the 24 hour giving period will still count towards our total fundraising effort. (including gifts from Individual Retirement Accounts).

Donor Advised Funds (DAF): During the event, you may pledge to give up to $25,000 via a DAF. To count for March, the money must be received in March. You can make this commitment to a fundraiser for a Retirement Center Fund of your choice. Email gifthelp@berkeley.edu for help.
