For eight years, Private School Village (PSV) has been building something essential: a community where children feel seen, valued, supported, and connected.

Together, we've reached 20,000+ community members, families, and students, grown to 100+ partnering school sponsors and new markets, delivered 92+ events and activities in FY26, and invested nearly $400,000 in scholarships since 2024. With 260 children participating in LA/Pasadena Social Pods, 86 high school student ambassadors, 106 parent ambassadors representing 53 LA/Pasadena schools in FY26, PSV created opportunities for education, meaningful connection, and growth. These aren't just events. This is what it looks like to create the conditions for students to fully thrive in school and in life.

Our impact is growing. And so is the demand for our programs. More and more, families and schools understand that belonging is not a "nice to have." Research shows it is essential to healthy development, student well-being, and academic success.

Yet economic uncertainty and shifting funding priorities are making it increasingly difficult to sustain this work. While PSV's board is actively strengthening our model for the future behind the scenes, our children's need for belonging cannot pause.

Without meaningful support now, we may be forced to scale back on programs and our transformational spaces—at a time when families need more, not less.

Our goal is to raise $180,000, approximately 15% of PSV's annual operating budget, to help protect the programs families count on and help build a more sustainable organization.

We cannot keep building more with less. And we cannot ask our children to wait.

Every gift matters. A a thank-you, gifts of $250 or more include membership in the PSV Belonging Circle which will be acknowledged as such in our annual report. Give $100 by December 31, 2026, and you'll also receive priority access to purchase tickets to PSV Honors on April 25, 2027, our limited-capacity Los Angeles celebration.

The need is growing. Our funding must too. Belonging can't wait.

PSV: Belonging Can't Wait

Our impact has grown. Our community has grown. The need has grown. Now our funding must grow, too.
