Member dues pay only a portion of the expenses of conducting the Institute program. Though our endowment from the Osher Foundation helps supplement member fees, additional costs will need to be met by individual, corporate and foundation fund raising. OLLI members, non-members, and businesses are encouraged to become “Friends of OLLI” by making tax-deductible contributions. Such contributions can be directed to the general fund or to specific purposes such as member scholarships, equipment and materials, instructional support for courses and the speaker series, and even parking for classes. Donations may be included on the enrollment form or made at any time.

To discuss donations, or to donate for a specific purpose, contact Martin Kaplan, Ph.D., Director of OLLI, at marty.kaplan@csuci.edu.
