BE THE LIGHT
At UC Berkeley’s Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, brilliance shines brightly every day, from transformative learning experiences in the museum to groundbreaking collections-based research. This BIG GIVE, we invite you to be that light to empower this extraordinary community by donating to the Magnes and being a part of UC Berkeley’s biggest fundraising event of the year!
Your dedication has a direct impact on the incredible exhibitions and programs that make UC Berkeley’s Magnes a beacon of Jewish art and culture in the Bay Area and beyond. Year after year, Big Give powers us to thrive as a space for gathering, teaching, learning, and creative expression.
Don’t miss the chance to multiply your impact with our Big Match Challenge! Magnes supporter Vallery Feldman will contribute $5,000 once 20 individual donors like you make a gift to the Magnes in the next 24 hours! This challenge match ends at 9pm on Thursday, March 13.
This year, be the light that illuminates the museum’s path forward. It is your generosity that helps Berkeley’s stars, like the Magnes, shine their brightest and donate to the Magnes!
Big Give is an online fundraising tradition that began in 2014, giving you and the entire Cal community — alumni, parents, students, faculty, staff, and friends — the chance to come together to support your favorite schools and programs. Now celebrating its 11th year, this annual day of giving allows you to amplify your generosity through awareness and contest prizes.
Big Give starts at 9 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, March 12, and continues through 9 p.m. PDT on Thursday, March 13, 2025.
Visit BigGive.berkeley.edu today and discover all the ways you can be the light.
