Unrestricted donations help Berkeley Extension respond quickly to community needs—for courses and certificate programs that respond to changes in the marketplace, for new technologies that make continuing education accessible to people when and where they need it, and for public service programs of high interest.
Gifts promote Extension's unique mission of bringing Berkeley's resources to the broader public—through classes offered in locations throughout the Bay Area in the evenings, on weekends, and during the day, in formats ranging from a day to a semester. Contributions also allow us to create innovative public service programs that meet important community needs.
