The Charter Hill Society is a community of alums, parents, and friends who share a lasting affinity for UC Berkeley and an extraordinary commitment to preserving and enhancing its excellence in education, research, and public service. Your total annual giving of $1,000 or more during the fiscal year (July 1–June 30) anywhere on campus establishes and sustains your membership in this philanthropic circle. Current students and recent alums can become members with reduced levels of annual giving.
