Lakeside Giving Day 2026

Lakeside Giving Day is a 24-hour virtual giving event that brings the entire Lakeside community together in support of Lakeside students. It is an opportunity to showcase our spirit of generosity and make an impact that lasts beyond a single day.

Lakeside Giving Day starts at noon PST on March 30, 2026 and runs until noon PST on March 31, 2026.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference and sends the powerful message that Lakeside matters to you. Participating in Lakeside Giving Day, at whatever level is meaningful to you, signifies your commitment to Lakeside’s mission and helps strengthen our culture of philanthropy. Gifts of all sizes count towards our goal of 550 donors to unlock the match.

The Lakeside Fund is a collective endeavor that fuels our mission. It’s how our entire community comes together each year to invest in the people, programs, and experiences that define Lakeside. Tuition alone does not cover the true cost of educating each student, so every Lakeside Fund gift represents both a contribution of spirit, and a tangible way of making every day extraordinary for our students and teachers.

Lakeside Fund gifts are flexible and ready for immediate use, allowing the school to respond to what students and teachers need right now. If you would like to designate your gift to an area that reflects your personal values, you have the option to direct it towards financial aid, educational excellence, arts, athletics, or faculty excellence. Please note that gifts are unable to be directed to specific teams or clubs.

Use your own voice and story. Share what motivates you. Some people give because they benefited from financial aid. Others give to support amazing teachers. Some give to model generosity for their children. The common thread? We care about these students and this community, and we want to see them thrive.
