The Faculty Club needs your support as it prepares for the next century of service.
Since 1902, the Faculty Club has been a secluded retreat, luncheon club, meeting place, tavern hotel, and party facility for faculty, administrative personnel, staff, alumni, and community members closely associated with Cal. The building is an architectural gem of the Craftsman style, designed by architects Bernard Maybeck and John Galen Howard. The carved beams, the fireplaces, the stained-glass windows all reflect Maybeck's awareness of a special northern California aesthetic that still arouses a warm response in visitors and members alike.
We invite you to join The Faculty Club Campaign by making a donation or a five-year pledge, a gift that will allow significant improvements to the building now and one that will benefit new generations of members and friends in creating new memories and traditions in the decades to come. Upon completion, any remaining balance may be converted into an endowment to support operations and maintenance of this architectural treasure so that it may remain a distinctive venue and gathering place for the wider campus community for generations to come.
Gifts of appreciated securities may offer substantial tax benefits today. Staff in University Relations can discuss your philanthropic goals and how you can fulfill them through a gift to the Faculty Club. You may make your gift of support to the Faculty Club online or by check. To make a secure credit card gift or pledge payment, please visit the official Faculty Club Renovation Fund website. Please mail checks made payable to the UC Berkeley Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, and designated for The Faculty Club Campaign (#H0201), to:
