Annual Giv<strong>in</strong>g Campaign<br />
For families with children <strong>in</strong> <strong>Lafayette</strong><br />
public schools, we ask for an annual<br />
donation of $800 for each child <strong>in</strong><br />
elementary or middle school and $500<br />
per Acalanes High School student. If<br />
that amount is a stretch for your family<br />
budget, we ask that you contribute at a level<br />
that is right for you. LPIE can accept<br />
<strong>in</strong>stallment payments to make the process<br />
easier. Participation by all families is the key<br />
to meet<strong>in</strong>g our schools’ needs and provid<strong>in</strong>g<br />
our children exceptional opportunities.<br />
Consider mak<strong>in</strong>g a greater impact by<br />
becom<strong>in</strong>g a Major Donor with a gift of<br />
$2,000 or more. Major Donors are core<br />
Ten Ways to Contribute<br />
supporters who have helped LPIE and<br />
our schools thrive for over three decades.<br />
They are given special acknowledgment<br />
and receive <strong>in</strong>vitations to private events<br />
and receptions. But it isn’t recognition<br />
that motivates our Major Donors; they<br />
step up because they recognize the value<br />
that outstand<strong>in</strong>g public schools br<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to our community.<br />

Leadership Circle<br />
In the spr<strong>in</strong>g of 2010, school fund<strong>in</strong>g news from the state of California was dire.<br />
Both Acalanes Union High School District and <strong>Lafayette</strong> School District were<br />
contemplat<strong>in</strong>g lay<strong>in</strong>g off teachers, <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g class sizes, and reduc<strong>in</strong>g curriculum<br />
options. At LPIE, we determ<strong>in</strong>ed to do our best to support our schools.<br />
We turned to our major donors—our most loyal and generous regular<br />
contributors—ask<strong>in</strong>g them to <strong>in</strong>crease their donation by 20% over the prior<br />
year. The response to our appeal was fantastic. We believe that the generosity<br />
of these gifts <strong>in</strong>spired and challenged our entire community to step up and help<br />
us achieve a record-break<strong>in</strong>g fundrais<strong>in</strong>g year.<br />
We recognize the follow<strong>in</strong>g donors as members of our 30th Anniversary<br />
