Why Support I-House?
I-House relies on your philanthropic support to offer financial aid, preserve the historic nature of the House, and provide innovative programming for the next generation of leaders. Your investment in I-House is vital in fulfilling our mission: to foster intercultural respect and understanding, lifelong friendships, and leadership skills for the promotion of a more peaceful world.
In the face of rising costs of living, support for I-House’s work is more crucial than ever. We face an unfortunate reality: room and board fees do not cover all operating expenses, and I-House doesn’t receive funding from UC Berkeley, so we rely on your generous support to close the gap.

Why Now?
I-House is a powerful idea, with a 93-year track record of opening minds and broadening perspectives among the next generation of global leaders. Though much has changed since I-House was founded in 1930, our world faces continued global conflict and polarization today. I-House’s mission is as important now as it was at our founding.
Thank you for supporting I-House’s work toward a more just and peaceful world.
