Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far, and who has helped get the word out about this fund.
The first goal of this campaign was to raise $10K to establish an account for the fund. We hit that goal in just a few days thanks to your generosity!
The next and most critical goal is ENDOWMENT for the fund. That will occur when he hit $50,000. At that point, our fund will be endowed and permanently award $3,000 every year to a student. And once we do, our work will continue. The annual awards can potentially become larger until we reach a full ride scholarship - the ultimate goal of this effort..
The university's Fall crowdfunding campaign ended on Friday, with overwhelming support. But our work is not finished yet. Yesterday, we were informed that we can continue using this crowdfunding site until the end of the calendar year.
Let's keep our eyes on the ball. Let's try to reach endowment by the end of the year!

We have passed the 20K mark! All thanks to you! Donors big and small, you are making a difference. Thank you for committing to equity in landscape architecture.
On we go towards the 50K goal and endowment for the fund.
Perfection is in the details! This will buy the student a coffee and a snack to give them energy.
This will buy them an external hard drive to back up their work.
Will help cover some of the mandatory campus fees (the Student Success fee is $211.91 for one semester).
This will help them get the laptop they need to run all those graphics-heavy programs.
This will help cover books and supplies for a year (university estimate is $1800 per year).
The estimated cost for room and board is $5,418 for a year. That is for students living with parents.
This will help cover tuition and some personal expenses for a year. One year down, three to go (or two, for MLAs)!
