Big Give for I-House

Each year, I-House participates in UC Berkeley's Big Give, a 24-hour online fundraising blitz. All gifts, regardless of size, make a bigger impact! This support enables us to expand our programs and provide financial aid so others can be a part of the I-House experience.

BIG GIVE 2020 might be over, but you can make a gift to I-House anytime(link is external)!

Thanks to our amazing community, we raised $40,590 from 149 gifts for International House and unlocked a $10,000 match from Board Member Jay Paxton. The support goes beyond numbers—it fosters global understanding, lifelong friendships, and keeps I-House a welcoming home for students worldwide.

We are truly grateful to everyone who participated in Big Give. Thank you for helping I-House shine a little brighter!
