Overview
Cal Performances is the largest performing arts presenter on the West Coast, and is considered one of the finest university presenters in the country. Its annual season of 100 performances of world music and dance, theater, opera, jazz, and classical music, in the 2,000-seat Zellerbach Hall, attracts an audience of 130,000. Cal Performances’ education and community outreach programs have deepened to focus on building artistic literacy. Cal Performances is transitioning from "presenter" to "producer" of artistic content, and has expanded access to its programs through partnerships with the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, and its own management of the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. With renewed support, Cal Performances will continue to be an iconic cultural institution, bringing high-quality performing arts to new audiences in the Bay Area.

for support of the Political Psychology of American Democracy project
The Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP) at UC Berkeley is a graduate school that engages in research and analysis while also training students to deploy a broad toolkit for problem-solving. This grant supports GSPP’s Political Psychology of American Democracy project, which will launch a three-wave national public opinion study that tracks and analyzes the public’s political attitudes, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors toward democracy.
for support of the CEGA Global Networks Program
The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at the University of California at Berkeley works to produce rigorous evidence about what works to expand education, health, and economic opportunities for people living in poverty. This grant supports CEGA’s set of interconnected activities, including hosting fellowships for social scientists from East and West Africa, organizing convenings that connect African scholars to global networks of faculty and Ph.D. students for mentorship and collaboration, and increasing access to research, dissemination, and policy engagement opportunities for African researchers.
