Goldman Fund Awards $5 Million to UC Berkeley's School of Public Policy

The San Francisco-based Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund has announced a $5 million grant to UC Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy.

Since 1997, the fund has awarded more than $15 million to support the school, including $10 million to help expand its facilities, faculty, and student body. The latest gift is part of the school's campaign to raise $34 million by 2013, which will enable it to further expand its offerings and maintain its position as a leading public policy institution.

"We have been so pleased with the growth of the Goldman School," said Richard N. Goldman, lead adviser to the school and founder of the Goldman Fund. "Drawing such well respected faculty as former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, the school has become recognized as a leader in public policy analysis. We hope that our additional investment will further increase the Goldman School's visibility and encourage more people to seek education and careers in public policy."
