The Campaign for Loyola

Hannon Ardolf HallLoyola High School of Los Angeles has embarked on the largest fundraising effort in its 143-year history with the Campaign for Loyola — a $70 million initiative to secure the facilities and endowment necessary to realize the school’s strategic plan and to ensure Loyola’s continued excellence over the next 50 years. The campaign raised has raised more than $55 million from more than 1,350 donors to date.

The public phase of the campaign will raise $10 million for faculty endowment, $8 million for the student financial-aid endowment and $5 million for the technology endowment. Although less visible than new buildings, endowment can have an even more transformational effect on an institution. It provides an enduring, self-replenishing source of income that continuously supports the school
