Our Crowdfunding Groups
Crowdfund UC Davis thanks all of the donors who gave to this important project in October. This campaign has closed, but you can still support our program by making a donation.
The UC Davis Center for Regional Change is a catalyst for innovative, collaborative, and action-oriented research. It brings together faculty and students from different disciplines, and builds bridges between university, policy, advocacy, business, philanthropy and other sectors. The CRC's goal is to support the building of healthy, equitable, prosperous, and sustainable regions in California and beyond.
About the Fund:
The CRC honors many ways of knowing and seeks to include those individuals most impacted by research findings to be involved in developing, participating in, and disseminating research about the communities they live in. However, structural and systemic barriers exist for many populations and communities. The CRC is raising money to address barriers to participation in community engaged research which include, but are not limited to, providing child care services so that families can participate in workshops, refreshments during meetings of advisory groups and research partners, translation of documents and live interpretation during meetings, and providing other services to provide reasonable accommodations.
Your Donation:
Donors who support the project provide the CRC with funds to support participating members in CRC community engaged research, including as study participants, project advisors, and research partners. Without addressing these barriers, (many of which are not funded through traditional research funding), diverse groups of community members from the most marginalized and underrepresented communities are disincentivized or unable to participate in research that has the power to shape their community for decades to come. The CRC prioritizes closing these barriers to participation and improving inclusivity. We can be successful when enough funds are available to accommodate the needs of participants. Your gift will support the Center for Regional Change and it's current goal to raise money to address barriers to participation in community engaged research.
