Types of Gifts
The UC Irvine Law Fund
The broad, expendable fund for the University of California, Irvine School of Law is the UC Irvine Law Fund. Gifts to the UC Irvine Law Fund help us meet the discretionary needs of the law school in faculty research and support, student scholarships, public interest grants and core program operations. Naming opportunities are available to donors who would like to restrict their significant gifts to a specific purpose.

Public Service
Al Meyerhoff Public Interest Fellowships
In 2010, Marcia Brandwynne memorialized Al Meyerhoff’s deep commitment to public service by creating the Al Meyerhoff Public Interest Fellows program at UC Irvine School of Law. Our goal is to provide funding to cover the base living expenses of the Fellows while they take on non-paying summer public interest jobs, working at a wide array of agencies, such as Southern Environmental Law Center, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, the Alliance for Children’s Rights, and many others.
Endowed Gift Funds
Our vision for the finest 21st century law school includes the establishment of endowed professorships, scholarships and public interest grants, which provide consistently reliable, vital budgetary support to meet the needs of a growing school. These investments in future generations of students may be restricted to your preferred subject area and bear the name of your designated honoree in perpetuity.
