Make a difference
Like most other public charter schools in California, Yu Ming receives fewer per pupil resources and must fund or finance our own facilities. Despite these obstacles, Yu Ming has consistently produced strong academic outcomes, but know that our impact can be even greater with partners like you. As a non-profit organization, financial support is critical to Yu Ming’s ability to fulfill our mission and promise.
Please join our community of individual donors, community partners, and foundations helping to change futures and re-define public education.
We are currently launching a capital campaign for our expansion. Learn more here.
