Celebrate $500K and Help Us Finish Strong!
Dear UCLA Lab School Community,
We are thrilled to announce that we have met our $500,000 Crowdfunding goal and unlocked the $500,000 matching gift from the Stengaard Gross family! That means $1 million dollars for UCLA Lab School to help sustain our outstanding programs and provide tuition support for our community.
We wish to thank everyone who has participated in the Annual Fund so far this year—with the Crowdfunding campaign and early support from families beginning in August. We are inspired by tremendous support from our faculty & staff. An incredible 70% of faculty & staff members have contributed towards our fundraising goals.
Parent and caregiver participation is at 40% with 13 days left in our Crowdfunding campaign. With many gifts still on the way and time left to give, we are increasing our Crowdfunding goal to $550,000! Reaching this goal will help propel us toward our overall annual giving target of $2,500,000 for the 2025–2026 school year.
Thank you again for your generosity! Your support helps Lab School continue to thrive. Please consider helping our fundraising success continue by sharing the link to our campaign to friends and family!
Warmly and with best wishes for a joyful and restful holiday,
Julia Howe and India Zietsman
