Why Give?

The collective support of Laguna’s parents, alumni, and friends enables the school to effectively deliver our mission and uphold our core values: scholarship, balance, character and community.

Gifts from alumni, parents, and friends support the Laguna of today while ensuring the school’s place in the world and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.

Academic vitality depends upon financial health. Our community’s philanthropic support has a measurable impact on the level of Laguna’s excellence in education. All independent schools rely on charitable contributions to assist in fulfilling the educational aspirations of our students. Laguna’s faculty and students continue to benefit from the generous support of our entire community. Your tax-deductible gifts make it possible for the school to continue to grow as an institution and to afford its students exceptional academic programs, faculty, and facilities.
