What is the UCDS Fund?
The UCDS Fund is foundational to our viability, helping to elevate and amplify our innovative programs and to celebrate lasting, community-supported success.
Annual giving to the UCDS Fund provides an opportunity to contribute in a way that is personally meaningful to any donor. Every gift makes a difference. And every year, your generosity has an impact. The Fund provides essential operating support, helping to sustain the very things that set UCDS apart, such as our 7:1 student-teacher ratio, and your gift elevates programs like our laboratory classrooms, supporting our students as they learn to collaborate and explain their thinking.
A portion of every gift also supports our Forever Endowment, ensuring a strong and vital tomorrow. The Endowment secures our ability to provide tuition assistance, making our programs accessible to as many students as possible. It also helps keep the very best teachers in our classrooms by providing resources for educators to take classes, speak at conferences, and have the best tools to elevate their work with our students.
