In addition to being a former UC San Francisco Board Overseer, he is a UCSF Campaign Donation Supporter and creator of a UCSF scholarship in honor of his father, Faustino Bernadett, Sr. In 2015, Bernadett was awarded the “Top 150 Alumni of UCSF for the Last 150 years” by U.C.S.F. To celebrate UCSF’s 150th anniversary, the Alumni Board honored 150 of its brightest and best with an Alumni Excellence Award, with nominations based on excellence and distinction within the major tenets of UCSF’s mission: research, education, patient care, service, business and industry. On top of that, Faustino Bernadett established the Faustino and Martha Molina Bernadett Presidential Chair for Education in the UCSF School of Medicine and they invested their time and attention to the future of medicine, particularly as it pertains to solving the world’s most critical health issues. During Dr. Bernadett’s time on the board, UCSF launched a landmark $5B fundraising campaign -- the largest-ever university campaign focusing solely on driving innovation in medicine.

Faustino also encouraged his UCSF classmates to contribute through matching funds, adding $140,000 for the scholarship. The Bernadetts also donated $100,000 to name the Tino & Martha Bernadett Lounge in the UCSF Mission Bay Community Center, which serves as the social hub of the center.
