Founded in 1984, Alumni & Friends’ mission is to raise funds to enhance the world-class arts education at LaGuardia by providing financial support to each studio; to ensure that all students, regardless of family income, can successfully pursue their talents through our award and scholarship programs; and to keep alumni connected with each other and the school. See the many programs A&F supports

Funds for LaGuardia and its students come from A&F’s $5.7 million endowment, created by generous donors. Proceeds from this endowment provide $350,000 in annual funding. A&F’s goal is to grow this endowment to provide even more assistance, particularly as the school faces further budget cuts and its needs are greater than ever.

Please consider a donation to help support today’s students!
