This campaign has ended, but you can still support the UCLA LGBT Campus Resource Center by clicking here!
You did it! We've reached our goal!
Dear Donors,
You did it! We have exceeded our goal of $10,000 to empower and support UCLA LGBTQIA students!
On behalf of the students who will benefit from your generous support and the dedicated staff at the UCLA LGBT Campus Resource Center, thank you. Your gift to this Spark campaign will fund emergency resources for students in times of crisis, support students' professional development, and provide funding for students to attend LGBT leadership conferences.
Every day, I am inspired by the resilient spirit of students who come to the LGBT Campus Resource Center, their passion for serving LGBTQIA communities, and their desire to make UCLA and the world safe, open, inclusive, and vibrant for all. The generous support of individuals like you will help them succeed. Thank you.
With Gratitude and Pride,

Help us cross the finish line! There are only 4 days left.
Dear Donor,
With only 4 days remaining in our Spark campaign, we have reached over 78% of our $10,000 goal to support and empower UCLA LGBTQIA students. We are so incredibly grateful for your support!
The finish line is in sight and we need your help to get there! In these final few days, here are some ways you can help:
- Share our campaign video featuring our students talking about the critical need for the services, support, and spaces provided by the UCLA LGBT Campus Resource Center.
- Tell your friends and family why you chose to support our campaign.
- Emphasize that gifts of any size can have a huge impact! If every person who has already given encourages two friends to give just $12, we would exceed our goal!
- Share one of the three student stories on our Spark page. Kai, Hilary, and Paola are inspiring young leaders who have committed to serving the LGBTQIA community and their stories need to be heard!
Thank you again so much for helping us come this far in our campaign and for sending a powerful message of support to LGBTQIA students at UCLA. Your donation will support students facing financial instability and times of crisis, empower them to achieve their full potential, and help develop the next generation of LGBTQIA leaders and advocates at UCLA and beyond. We are so excited to share with you everything our students will accomplish with your support.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
Andy Cofino

Today is National Give OUT Day!
Dear Donor,
Thanks to you, we have already reached 28% of our goal after only 3 days! Your early support is critical to building our momentum and ensuring that we will reach our $10,000 goal to empower and support UCLA LGBTQ students.
Today is Give OUT Day, the only national day of giving for LGBTQIA causes. Since 2013, thousands of individuals, clinics, community centers, student groups, and other organizations have mobilized to raise over $5 million for advocacy, programs, and services that benefit LGBTQIA people across the country. This year, all of us at the UCLA LGBT Campus Resource Center are proud to join the cause with our own crowdfunding campaign to serve UCLA students.
Please help us spread our Spark page and video to your social networks today and share why you chose to support our campaign. Not only will this campaign raise critical funds for our student-led programs, conferences, and emergency funding, but we hope it will also send a message to LGBTQIA students that they have the support of the UCLA community and beyond.
Thank you and happy Give OUT Day!
Sincerely,
Andy Cofino
