| Description | Venture Capital Firm |
The UCLA Venture Capital Fund offers a dynamic way for venture capitalists and entrepreneurs to make pledges of stock in start-up companies before they go public. If the donated shares eventually benefit from a liquidity event (merger or IPO), the institution gets the windfall and the donor receives a substantial tax deduction. This “cashless†form of support creates a philanthropic partnership between UCLA and its entrepreneurial backers.
