UC Davis achieved a nearly 25 percent jump in private support last year with gifts totaling more than $101 million. Through the help of more than 44,000 donors, including alumni, parents, students, organizations and other friends, UC Davis raised nearly $101.2 million in gifts, pledges and private grants during the 2006-07 fiscal year. This represents a nearly 25 percent increase from the $81.5 million raised the year before and is the fifth consecutive year that philanthropic support has grown. The 2006-07 totals are pending a final year-end review.
