Different, to Make a Difference
Annual Fund 2023-2024
USL students are true to themselves and use their unique perspectives, talents, and ideas to bring about positive change and make a difference in the world.
Why Give to The USL Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund is vital to operating the University School of the Lowcountry.
Tuition covers 90% of USL’s operating costs. Fundraising, including the Annual Fund, is needed to make up the difference to fund educational programs like Learning Outside the Classroom experiences.
Annual Giving is an investment in our students and teachers.
USL students consistently outperform their peers at both local and regional levels. Annual Fund gifts support aspects of USL’s non-traditional educational model nurturing high-achieving students prepared for the world.
Annual Giving makes an impact today.
It allows USL to remain adaptable and innovative while ensuring that the school’s immediate needs are met while planning for a brighter future.
Annual Gifts are unrestricted, allowing the leadership to use the gifts on strategic priorities and the most pressing needs while also enhancing the USL experience with cultural initiatives like wellness programs and events that foster a sense of community.
Philanthropic gifts to the Annual Fund enable USL to provide a high-quality education and contribute positively to our local community. It’s a collaborative effort where everyone’s contributions, regardless of size, come together to create a significant impact.
