| Two Easy Ways to Show Your Love for OLLI |
 
Give a Little Extra to Support the OLLI Annual Fund
Our low member dues and the interest income from the Osher endowment don't cover all our annual expenses. Member donations fill the gap. We are a little over a third of the way towards meeting our goal of $15,000 for the Spring Fund Drive. Your generosity will help improve course offerings and ensure adequate staff support for instructors and members. Even a small donation is appreciated, because a high percent of member participation increases the odds of attracting grants from foundations. Click on the "Donate" button below to see the easy, single-screen way you can now give to OLLI and/or come to the Cinco de Mayo fundraiser.
