Community Gift 2024

In 2020, we committed to give financial gifts to other organizations at the end of the year, particularly those that are BIPOC-led, BIPOC-serving, and those that provide services that address the overall wellness of our students. As part of our anti-racism and equity work, we know that the services we provide address only a part of our students' needs, and so we are sharing the resources we have. 

This year, we’re pleased to announce that the recipient of our Community Gifts this year, as selected by a committee, is the Tongva Taraxat Paxaavxa Conservancy, a Tongva led organization with the purpose of stewarding the lands of Tovaangar — the traditional native lands of the greater Los Angeles basin.

The Conservancy's mission includes receiving and managing land back, building community for Native people, practicing traditional ceremonies, creating a native archive, and rematriating the lands by returning native culture and ecosystems. They will receive $2,500. 

We encourage you to find out more about them and support as you can! We’re so grateful to be doing work alongside such inspiring community leaders.
