External parties can make monetary gifts to the UC Regents for research and development intended to assist Berkeley Lab in performing its mission for the DOE, or to create new capabilities at Berkeley Lab consistent with the DOE’s overall needs. Gifts are distinctly different from collaboration agreements (SPPs and CRADAs). A gift imposes no contractual requirement and is given irrevocably.
For specific procedures, see Donor Instructions and Monetary Gift Procedural Requirements.
Berkeley Lab Foundation
The foundation offers another way to make a gift to Berkeley Lab. The foundation is a 501c3 and an official support group of the University of California, and serves as the bridge between Berkeley Lab and donors who wish to support its multidisciplinary research. Contact information can be found at the foundation’s website.
Office of the Chief Development Officer
The Office of the Chief Development Officer (OCDO) works collaboratively with prospective funders and Berkeley Lab leadership to ensure that philanthropic funds are brought into the Lab and managed in accordance with all relevant guidelines and rules.
