From time to time, we like to acknowledge gift to UCLA that don't involve major construction projects, but rather support research, teaching, students, and other activities. The LA Business Journal has a listing in the Feb. 14 issue of the top philanthropic donations in LA County of at least $1 million including to UCLA. The UCLA gifts, some of which we have noted in prior postings, are:
- $29 million from Allen and Charlotte Ginsburg to establish a center for precision genomic medicine.
- $5.15 million the the UCLA Hammer Museum from Jarl and Pamela Mohn to support an award and Made in LA exhibitions to support acquisitions of works by emerging and underrecognized artists.
- $2 million from Irla Zimmerman Oetzel to support the Darling Biomedical Library.
- $1.45 million from Raphael Montañez Ortiz for an endowed fund at the Chicano Studies Center to support research and other activities.
- $1 million from Timothy and Jill Harmon to support former foster care students.
