It’s golden: UC Berkeley’s Light the Way campaign raises $7.37 billion
The total exceeds the capital campaign’s goal of $6 billion; 76% of the more than 1 million gifts were $1,000 or less.
One of the largest capital campaigns launched by any public or private U.S. university — UC Berkeley’s Light the Way: The Campaign for Berkeley — has come to an official and impressive end. Its ambitious $6 billion goal was vastly surpassed, with more than $7.37 billion raised — the largest total in history for any public university and for any university without a medical school.
