Support the Daily Californian

Dear friends and alumni,

We are writing to you because we know that as alumni and supporters of UC Berkeley and The Daily Californian, you recognize the integral role that the Daily Cal plays as the voice of the Berkeley community. The Daily Cal provides students with hands-on training and serves as a cutting-edge news outlet. We’ve done that for the last 144 years and we will continue to do so for many years to come. But the Daily Cal Education Foundation needs your help in order to sustain this major project. We need resources to continue to support and train our record number of staff members at the Daily Cal. We are counting on generous alumni like you.


Our goal is to raise $20,000! Your contribution will allow us to address immediate operational needs, provide college scholarships and acquire much-needed equipment and software for our multimedia and design teams. As an independent, student-run newspaper, we are counting on your private support to sustain our voice and our goals in a time when the traditional definition of news is changing.


In the past year, we have established several new projects such as peer-taught classes for news reporters and a data visualization team. With all of its innovative progress, the Daily Cal has retained its core mission of acting as the voice of students and the campus community, but we need your support to strengthen our evolving voice!


We are the voice of the students!

Since 1871, we have provided an unparalleled opportunity for student leaders to have complete responsibility over our journalism, media and business departments. The training our staff members receive gives them a competitive advantage, allowing them to excel beyond the Daily Cal. Our graduates go on to work for nationally acclaimed newspapers, businesses and nonprofits. With your help, we will continue to provide cutting-edge training that enables our staff to be equipped with skills needed in the modern-day workforce.

We are the voice of the community!

With a print circulation throughout the campus and city, an average of 1 million online page views per month and readers in more than 100 countries, we are able to reach readers beyond the UC Berkeley campus and Bay Area. Attesting to the hard work of our staff, the Daily Cal consistently receives numerous awards from the California College Media Association and Society of Professional Journalists. Your donations will allow us to expand our scope of readership as we grow our online presence.

Help fund the voice of Cal! Your donation to the Education Foundation counts toward your total Berkeley give, which can make you eligible for the Charter Hill Society. Your donation to the foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is tax deductible, too!


With best wishes for the holiday season,
