Donate to La Raza Athletic Association
Serving youth and families in our community since 1971.
Investing in the next generation through sports, mentorship, and scholarships.
LRAA offers several donation funds that support scholarships, youth programs, and the long-term growth of our organization. See below for a description of each fund and how your support helps our community.
General Fund
Supports youth programs, mentorship, scholarships, athletics, and community initiatives throughout the East Bay.
Sustainability Fund**
The Sustainability Fund supports the long-term maintenance and stability of LRAA as a nonprofit organization, including bookkeeping, accounting, regulatory compliance, annual filings, financial reporting, insurance, and other essential administrative requirements. Building this fund helps ensure that each year we can focus our energy on serving youth and the community, rather than worrying about the ongoing survival and maintenance of the organization itself.
**Supporters who contribute $1,000 or more to the Sustainability Fund by the July 18, 2026 will be recognized as LRAA Revival Founders for helping establish and stabilize the next generation of the organization.
