Please complete all fields as applicable.  

Foundation Requests for Funds

Request for funds requests must be submitted through UC San Diego Services & Support Portal, About: Gift Funds; Related to: Gift Fund Setup & Transfer; More Specifically: Foundation Requests for Funds Transfer.  If you have questions, use About: Gift funds; Related to: Gift Fund Inquiries; More Specifically: Gift Fund Questions  

Requests by email, mail and fax WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.

There is no longer a need to set up a transfer fund.  Since Campus & Foundation are using separate ledgers within Oracle the fund number is the same on both ledgers.  If you need to have a new project or task created before you submit your transfer request, please see this knowledgebase article for how to request that. 

NOTE:  If your fund begins with letters M-Z do not complete this form.  These are campus gift funds and the balance is already on the campus ledger.  If you need to move money please complete a resource or cost transfer as applicable.

Request for Funds FormThis form allows you to submit a request for a one-time or recurring withdrawal of money from one Foundation fund.

  • To request a recurring transfer, please leave the amount field blank and check the box next to "Recurring transfer".  Complete all other fields.  A new form is only required annually for endowed chair funds.
  • If you are requesting funds for an endowed chair please attach the Vice Chancellor or their delegate's email approval of your request to your case as directed above.  Chair funds continue to require approval from the Vice Chancellor or their delegate prior to processing (per PPM 230-8 Section II D).
