Ways to Give

Your partnership proves that world-class results are possible in a large urban district. Every contribution helps build the educational opportunities our district’s 550,000 students deserve.

We treat your contribution with care and ensure its efficient use. By operating both with and within LAUSD, we’re best positioned to maximize impact for supporters of Los Angeles Unified students.

92 cents of every dollar donated to the LAUSD Education Foundation goes directly to support LAUSD students, programs, and services. LAEF is recognized as Candid Silver Level, affirming our organization’s commitment to transparency and fidelity in our fund management and administration.
