Philanthropic Support by Giving Numbers

Through this year’s increased, renewed, and new giving, especially as COVID-19 affected us, the UWC Costa Rica community showed that #StrongerTogether was more than a social media trend. We were challenged to react and question what it looks like to educate tomorrow’s leaders today, next academic year, or years from now. We let our conversations be the strategy to lead an ongoing process of discussion, research, and collaboration from the roots up—because what students need is evolving at an ever-accelerating pace. Your support allowed us to do this. Each donation received this past year enabled us to put the safety and well-being of each student and member of our community first. While COVID-19 continues to challenge us, we know we count on your support to continue educating agents of change and inspiring impact in a way where we meet each student’s needs with support to let them become the best version of themselves. That is what our world needs now. For this and for all you do in believing in our mission, muchas gracias.
