Jane and Terry Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior
at the University of California, Los Angeles
Program Endowment Campaign for the Early Childhood Partial Hospitalization Program (ECPHP)
The Early Childhood Partial Hospitalization Program (ECPHP) in the Jane and Terry Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior
at the University of California, Los Angeles, is an internationally
recognized model for the treatment of young children with autism, related developmental disabilities, and behavioral disorders. Since the ECPHP was established in 1993, demand has increased for its services, putting a strain on its resources. With three classrooms in operation,
the waiting list for admission can be as long as two years. To sustain
the excellence of this program, a donor-initiated campaign to create a
$1 million quasi-endowment for the ECPHP was conceived in November 2006.
Goals
- Enhance and expand staff, resources, and services of the ECPHP, as well as ensure adequate annual funding for the program's anticipated growth.
- Educate potential donors about autism and the ECPHP in a simple yet elegant way.
- Invite potential donors to contribute a minimum of $5,000 and become ECPHP sponsors with the privilege of attending an exclusive reception.
Results
- The ECPHP campaign culminated with a sponsor reception and a highly successful result: $1.1 million in donations, $100,000 more than its intended goal.
- The excitement generated during the sponsor reception led to
future gifts, a new donor base, and the opening of a new classroom
to alleviate the admissions waiting list for families.
