The Berkeley Economy and Society Initiative Support Fund

Your gift makes a difference

Drawing on UC Berkeley's exceptional strength across disciplines, the Berkeley Economy and Society Initiative (BESI) spearheads innovative research on the challenges of climate change, disruptive technology, and growing threats to democracy while fostering collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. 

Our aim is to champion a political economy of possibility rooted in the robust exchange of ideas for a more just and prosperous future. Your support makes that possible.
