Donations to the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health Fund provide immediate funds for the Dean to allocate toward the Fielding School's priorities. These gifts give the Fielding School the flexibility to fund new initiatives, enhance student life, and build academic programs. At a time when state support provides just 19% of the Fielding School's operating budget, annual gifts - both large and small - are essential to maintaining the Fielding School's quality.
