Your Support Helps the Planet

For 25 years, the Beahrs Environmental Leadership Program has been training and supporting environmental leaders from around the world. A core component of our program is and always has been to make the world-class education of UC Berkeley available to professionals from all backgrounds and areas; this diversity of participants in turn enriches the diversity of thoughts and perspectives within the program. Participants go on to make a difference in their countries and communities, creating lasting change on a local and global level. To date, we have had over 850 participants from 115+ countries.

The continued success of the program is thanks to people like you—people who are passionate about the environment and positive change. You can have a deep and lasting impact by sponsoring program participants through one-time gifts, scholarships, or endowment support.

How Your Help Can Make a Difference

Support Outstanding Candidates: Let us identify extraordinary professionals with limited resources whose work furthers your vision and creates the impact you want to see in a particular region or sector. Whether through an annual scholarship or a one-time gift, know that your contribution today makes transformational change possible tomorrow.

Sponsor an Event, Workshop, or Field Trip: Contribute to increased academic excellence and access to the most critical and relevant industry tools and skills.

Build our Endowment: Work with us toward our goal of supporting 50% of the cohort through endowment to ensure this opportunity remains widely accessible. Learn more here.

Create an Institutional Tie: Partner with the Beahrs ELP to provide leadership training for your organization or sponsor employees as participants.

Continue the Journey: Support post-training collaborative projects between our alumni, their organizations, and UC Berkeley that focus on issues like conservation, climate smart agriculture, and sustainable energy (Buck Kingman Initiative)
