Bringing UC to the UK & Europe
Based in London, UK, the UC Trust works with alumni, study abroad students, parents, donors, and faculty from all ten campuses.
We are a UK-registered charity (Reg. No. 1075405) that fosters global engagement through education, philanthropy, and connection. Founded in 1999, the Trust supports research collaboration, student possibilities, alumni engagement, and offers tax-effective giving opportunities for UK and EU-based donors. From cultural events to academic exchanges, we help the international UC community thrive.
Building Alumni Communities
In London, we host an annual UC Alumni UK Summer Celebration which brings together the UC community across the UK for a day celebrating our vibrant international network.
Celebrating UC Research
In Madrid, we continue UC's legacy of academic excellence by bringing the local UC community together to hear about the pioneering research conducted by UC professors.
Events
From pub quizzes and summer picnics to expert panels and our flagship gala, UC Trust events bring the UC spirit to life.
We host more than 50 events annually, open to all alumni, students, and friends. Wherever you are in your UC journey, you’re welcome here.
Advancing Education
We advance education by promoting the University of California’s academic excellence. Our programs connect UC students, alumni, and faculty through public lectures, career panels, research showcases, and cross-border collaborations.
Partnering with UC Office of the President, UC Education Abroad Program, and campus departments, the Trust expands access to education and brings California insight to global audiences.
Alumni
The UC Trust supports a vibrant, volunteer-led alumni network for graduates, students, parents, and friends of the University of California.
You can join a regional chapter, lead a campus group, support causes like sustainability, be active in an affinity group, or simply attend events and build your network. Whether you're new to the region or a long-time resident, you’ll find meaningful ways to connect and contribute.
Giving
Your support helps the University of California continue its world-leading teaching, research, and public service. The University of California Trust enables alumni and friends in the UK and Europe to give back easily and tax-effectively.
