Giving Report 2026

Giving by the Numbers

This year, our community came together to raise nearly $5M in philanthropic support across capital gifts, operating enrichment, endowment, walkathon, and bursaries. That number represents the largest outpouring of support in LFA history. It is a testament to the commitment and investment of our community in support of LFA’s next evolution. The impact of this generosity will be felt by our students today, and by generations to come.

Fundraising Overview

With our Flourish Campaign in full swing, our community has answered the call to usher in the next evolution of LFA with resounding support towards campus capital projects. We saw incredible support for the long-term health and vision of the school as our endowment had considerable growth this year, with an astonishing 10 new endowments established. Operating enrichment, which sees to the day-to-day benefit of our students continued to be a priority for our community, as did our school Walkathon which exceeded its goal of $75,000, and our bursaries kept our mission of accessibility strong in the form of financial aid. 

The strength and generosity of our greater LFA community has never been more evident than it was this year. We are confident in our collective ability to see through the next evolution of LFA as Fall 2027 gets closer.

Endowment

The LFA Endowment Fund saw astronomical growth and investment this year. Endowment gifts build and secure the future financial stability of Little Flower Academy and long-term vision of the school.

We would like to acknowledge and celebrate our new Family Endowments this year:

Chan Family Endowment Fund
Ryan Chan & Samantha Wong ’02 Endowment Fund
Cheng and Tsang Family Endowment Fund
Freyman Runcewicz Family Endowment Fund
Lodewyk Wang Family Endowment Fund
Ma Lee Family Endowment Fund
The Eva and John Wertschek Endowment Fund
Rosemarie Wertschek Endowment Fund
Wertschek Family Scholarship
Widarto Mananta Family Endowment Fund

With their gifts to endowment, these families have demonstrated their commitment to the long-term vision of LFA. With belief in the value of faith-based education, the importance of community, and the impact of endowment, the enrichment of a Little Flower Academy education in perpetuity is a fitting legacy for all these families.



Endowment gifts build and secure the future financial stability of Little Flower Academy and may be earmarked for specific purposes. The above chart highlights the specific areas our endowments help support. 




Endowments designated to support the "Area of Greatest Need" do just that. The purpose of these funds is to direct unrestricted financial resources to the area of greatest need at the school. 




Endowments designated to support "Financial Aid" help bolster LFA's vision of accessibility. The purpose of these funds is to direct financial aid resources to students who require assistance in meeting the costs of tuition. 




Endowments designated as "Donor Directed" serve a variety of purposes as established by the donor. Our donor directed funds support everything from our campus ministry efforts to our school's athletics program. 



Class Endowments
It is tradition at LFA that in lieu of a physical class gift, parents and grandparents of graduating students give a class gift to the school in thanks for the education their daughters have received. It started in 2012 when the endowment fund was first established, and a Class of 2012 gift was designated to support financial aid at the school. The 50th Reunion of the Class of 1962 was held at the school, just weeks after the Class of 2012 had announced their gift, and in a beautiful moment of community action, they too pledged a gift. With that, two classes, 50 years apart, launched the Class Endowments to support financial aid.

Families from this year's Class of 2026 have already begun adding to that legacy. The collective endowment of the many class funds now disburses important financial aid to current students at LFA.
