Invest in Creativity

This spring, UC’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning is launching the Creative Entrepreneurship Initiative which will provide students with resources to realize their creative vision and drive the next generation of innovation. The Creative Entrepreneurship Initiative will connect students to industry leaders, incubate projects, and teach the fundamentals of entrepreneurship through a creative lens. 

It takes great resources to foster an environment where creativity and innovation are the standard. We believe we must continue to invest to ensure that DAAP students are prepared to lead wherever their careers take them.

Double your impact with a UC Day of Giving Match!

Invest in the future with a gift to the Creative Entrepreneurship Initiative and help kickstart this exciting initiative. Gifts to this fund will be matched by an anonymous donor up to $5,000.

Preparing the Next Generation of Explorers and Visionaries

The generosity of alumni and donors like you helps bring DAAP’s vision to life. Gifts to the UC Fund for DAAP will enable the exploration of the long-term implications of a pandemic and support recruitment of the brightest and most talented students to solve these problems.

Through the co-op program, students gain valuable on-the-job experience that increases their professional opportunities post-graduation. With your support, we can continue to expand our commitment to developing the next generation of design leaders.

Additional Funds to Support

Robert Probst Scholarship Fund was created to provide financial assistance to students in the Communication Design program at the DAAP. Giving to this fund, provides ensures the next generation of creatives can pursue their passion.
