African American Faculty and Staff Association Support Fund

The African American Faculty and Staff Association (AAFSA) fosters a welcoming and supportive space for faculty and staff committed to advancing Black leadership, professional development, and community engagement at UC Davis. Open to all employees, AAFSA promotes inclusion, leadership development, and the celebration of Black culture and excellence. The group is open to all employees interested in promoting inclusion and celebrating Black excellence.

Employee Resource Groups at UC Davis bring together faculty and staff who are committed to mentorship, retention, and advancing a sense of belonging for colleagues across campus. ERGs build community, advocate for needs within their interest areas, and often volunteer their time to support campus events and programs. They create welcoming spaces where colleagues can connect, learn from one another, celebrate shared experiences, and lift each other up.

Gifts to ERGs help fund community-building activities, programs that support engagement and professional growth, visibility efforts such as tabling and outreach, and initiatives that strengthen cross-departmental connection and retention. Your support directly enhances opportunities for faculty and staff to thrive and helps cultivate an inclusive, connected, and collaborative university community.
