Our Crowdfunding Groups
Thank you for visiting!
Our crowdfunding campaign has ended, but you can still support #UCLAForAll by clicking here.
Dear Friends:
You did it! In the last 37 days, your generous support allowed us to raise over $80k for undocumented and international students at UCLA! Your donations, your social media posts, and your personal outreach to friends and colleagues truly made a difference. On behalf of the Advisory Council on Immigration Policy, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
Because of people like you, more students, regardless of immigration status or country of origin, will be able to feel relief during these challenging times. Together, we sent a loud message of support and solidarity and showed that we stand with the international and immigrant community at UCLA!
If you are interested in continuing your support for this campaign, this fund will continue to receive donations in the future. Just recently, a supporter dedicated her birthday celebration to #UCLAForAll. If you wish to do something similar, you can reach out to Alex Nguyen, Associate Director of Development, Student Affairs at 310-983-3092 or anguyen@support.ucla.edu.
With best wishes and gratitude,
Abel Valenzuela
Professor and Special Advisor to the Chancellor on Immigration Policy
We have yet another reason to celebrate this morning and it’s all because of you – all 215+ of you!
Before the sun came up this morning, advocates who support UCLA’s undocumented & immigrant community put #UCLAforAll over our fundraising goal for A SECOND TIME!
The commitment you have shown to our students and community throughout this campaign is awe-inspiring. We are proud you have chosen to champion the values of diversity and inclusion which are central to the UCLA mission, and which continue to guide our council every day.
Thank you for being an ally. Thank you for sharing our campaign with others. Thank you for your generosity.
With less than 26 hours remaining in the #UCLAforAll crowdfunding campaign, we’re setting our sights just a little higher and stretching our goal for the last time to $75,000!
Gifts of any and all sizes are still welcomed until our deadline of 12 PM tomorrow, May 11th.
Your partnership has been invaluable and we look forward to celebrating with you tomorrow afternoon. Until then, we’re calling on you one last time to help spread the word to other allies and friends: spark.ucla.edu/uclaforall.
The goal is within sight. Let’s cross the finish line together!
Good Morning!
#UCLAForAll will end in only 3 days! I’m a senior studying Political Science and Anthropology at UCLA. I arrived to the United States when I was 2 years old and I’ve grown up in Los Angeles since then. In the past 6 years, the DACA program allowed me to get my first job, attend college, and apply for state financial aid. DACA also allowed me to intern at the state legislature.
Now, I am faced with the reality that DACA might come to an end. I worry about my immigration status along with my classes, graduation, and post-grad employment. I may no longer be able to attend Law School and will have to find another way to make ends meet.
Despite these challenges, this campaign has inspired me! Your support gives me hope! Let’s finish strong! We only have 3 more days to share: spark.ucla.edu/uclaforall.
Sincerely,
Williams Lopez
UCLA Undergraduate Student
Dear #UCLAForAll Supporter!
I have directed the Undocumented Student Program (USP) at UCLA for the past three years. Everyday I meet with undocumented Bruins concerned about much more than class assignments– they’re also burdened with figuring out how to pay for tuition, rent, and food.
I hope for the day at UCLA where all students, regardless of immigration status, can be just that– students. Your continued support for #UCLAForAll will help support the students that I serve.
We are only 4 days away from the end of this campaign! Your personal outreach to your friends and colleagues is making a difference! I encourage you to continue sharing spark.ucla.edu/uclaforall! Let’s finish strong, we only have until Friday to fulfill our goal!
Valeria Simmons Garcia
