Rooted in Excellence, Growing Bright Futures
Foundation Endowment Campaign
The Future Grows Here
For more than 70 years, the Ladue School District has been a place where students thrive. Together with you, we’ll continue to grow excellence for generations to come.
Founded in 2006, the Ladue Education Foundation (LEF) funds teacher and staff grants that bring innovative ideas to life across every grade and subject. Thanks to supporters like you, every dollar has sparked creativity, inspired curiosity, and opened new doors for our students.
​
We proudly unite parents, alumni, teachers, staff, and the broader community to ensure all Ladue students have access to programs, materials, and facilities that exceed the district’s budget.
By establishing a foundation endowment, we will secure the ability to go Above and Beyond for All Students, now and for the future.
What Will This Campaign Accomplish?
Your investment—large or small—moves us closer to this goal. Once fully funded, the endowment will generate a 4% annual draw to support teacher grants and student programs, providing a sustainable, lasting impact for generations of learners.
​
Our goal: $5 million to grow the LEF’s endowment and secure its future.
Will You Grow With Us?
Your gift cultivates opportunities that inspire experiential learning, critical thinking, and creativity.
The Rooted in Excellence Campaign is our chance to shape what’s possible—for every Ladue student, today and for decades to come.
