As part of the response to the coronavirus pandemic, the federal government made available "Paycheck Protection Program" (PPP) loans, that were largely forgivable assuming recipients complied with the program rules. The program - aimed at the private sector - was meant to keep workers who would otherwise be laid off on payrolls. UCLA as a public sector entity was not eligible. However, some related organizations were. Using a search engine for finding recipients, yours truly has found that:
ASUCLA got about $4.7 million.
The Hammer Museum got about $2.3 million.
The Geffen Playhouse got about $1.5 million.
Hillel at UCLA got about $163,000.
Other organizations connected with UCLA might well have gotten funds, since they may operate under business names that I couldn't find.
Notably, I couldn't find the UCLA Faculty Center, although the Berkeley Faculty Club got around $400,000.*

*UPDATE: I am told that UCLA wanted to put all the applications in one pot and then allocate the resulting funding. (Apparently, however, ASUCLA was separate.)
