Endowment Supporters
The LCFEF raises $2 million annually through various fundraising events, but the Endowment plays a crucial role as one of the largest contributors. Recently, during the 2024-25 state budget crisis, the Endowment donated the maximum allowed $500,000 to the Annual Fund.
To clarify, both the Annual Fund and the Endowment are vital for our schools. The Annual Fund provides immediate resources, while the Endowment offers long-term, stable support. Think of the Annual Fund like a paycheck—available for current use—while the Endowment is like a pension, offering annual benefits with long-term security.
The Endowment’s funds are invested for growth, with a portion distributed to the schools each year based on a policy determined by the Trustees. This ensures ongoing support for future generations.
Aiming for a $50 million Endowment could provide $2.5 million annually to LCUSD, creating a reliable cushion independent of state funding. Let’s make this a community goal for the future of our schools.
We have made every attempt to accurately report donations, but mistakes happen. If we have made an error, we sincerely apologize and ask that you please contact the Foundation office at (818) 952-4268 so that we may correct our records. Thank you for your understanding.
