Power, passion and promise are traits of an exceptional veterinary institution. They are at the core of UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine's commitment to the health and well-being of animals.

Since we welcomed our first students in 1948, the school has built a reputation as a top-tier academic institution. We're proud of our rich history of contributions to animal, human and environmental health.

At the heart of our success are our philanthropic partners—visionary leaders who share our commitment to improve the health of animals, the people who care for them, and the environment we all share. Some are looking to the school's researchers to find better treatments and cures for animal diseases and conditions. Many are grateful clients who have developed longstanding, personal connections with the veterinarians who have cared for their beloved pets. Others are alumni, emeriti faculty and staff who are dedicated to the school. Whatever their connection, our donors share one common thread: A deep love for animals.

We envision a future that promises a healthier world for your animals, families and environment. Our achievements over the next 60 years will depend upon investments from additional partners who share our mission to train the next generation of veterinarians and improve animal health.
