An Investment in the Future
Los Feliz Charter for the Arts, like all charter schools in California, receives almost 30% less funding than an average district school. This is why our success depends on the dedication of our school’s families and generous outside donations. Our proactive fundraising committee has organized a number of ways for anyone to make a contribution to the success of our school, and to the legacy it is creating.
Why do we need to raise funds?
LFCSA is a public charter school and as such we receive approximately $40 a day for each student in attendance from public school coffers. While this provides the majority of our general budget, it does not cover all of the expenses of running a school—especially one as unique as ours. We depend on fundraising to fill a significant budget gap.
What is the overall dollar amount we need to raise this year?
We must raise $327,000 for the 2011-2012 school year. This money goes towards the General Operating Budget, which pays for our teacher and staff salaries, rent, utilities, insurance, supplies, furniture, etc. In short, this is the budget that pays for our school to keep its doors open!
