A support group is an organization, foundation, or association that operates in affiliation and collaborationwith UCLA to raise gift funds or otherwise provide public support for the teaching, research, patient care, and public service programs of the University. A support group also offers important social and professional networks for alumni and students, and may serve as an intermediary to other friends of the University and its mission.
