Donor recognition

Donors to the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing make a philanthropic investment in improving health and transforming health care. You may opt to support students, faculty, research, a new graduate studies center or the School of Nursing overall. Your gift will help the School of Nursing improve health care and promote health at home, in our communities and around the world.

Donors who wish to be publicly acknowledged will be recognized in the following ways. 

Donors who make a contribution of $100 or more to the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing will be acknowledged on the UC Davis Health System Honor Roll of Donors in the UC Davis Health System Annual Report.

Donors who give $1,000 or more during the school’s launch make up the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing Founding Donors, an elite group committed to making a real and lasting difference at the school. Becoming a Founding Donor is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for perpetual recognition as one of the school’s first supporters.
