Prospective

University Development and Alumni Relations (UDAR) at the University of California, Berkeley, invites qualified firms to submit proposals for the role of Campaign Counsel. As Berkeley transitions from its most successful fundraising effort to date, the $7.37 billion Light the Way campaign, the University is formalizing the strategy for its next multi-billion-dollar comprehensive campaign. The selected consultant will play a critical role in advising campus leadership, including Chancellor Rich Lyons and the UDAR senior management team, on campaign readiness, goal setting, and the cultivation of transformative nine-figure gifts. Having already secured $1.9 billion in early support, we are seeking a strategic partner to serve as Campaign Counsel, one that brings not only deep expertise in campaign strategy, benchmarking, and creative problem-solving, but also perspective on “next” practices shaping the future of advancement. This includes advising Berkeley on emerging productivity tools, data-driven approaches, and the thoughtful application of AI to enhance effectiveness, scale, and impact across campaign planning and execution. Validity Period "Validity Period" as used in this provision, means the number of calendar days available to UC for awarding a contract and Purchase Order to a bidder.
