Preliminary
What is a Preliminary Annual Report?
A first-draft listing of LREI parent, alumni, alumni parent, faculty, staff, friend, grandparent, trustee, and former trustee donors who have made gifts or pledges to The 2023-2024 Fund for LREI between July 1, 2023, and April 8, 2024
If you are listed in the preliminary Annual Report, this is how your name will appear in the final 2023-2024 Annual Report mailed in the fall. To make corrections, please contact Ryann Imperioli at rimperioli@lrei.org. If your name was left off in error, please let her know. We apologize for any reporting mistakes and will do our best to make sure the final Annual Report is as accurate as possible.
Something’s missing…
Final Parents Association committee lists and donors to other LREI Advancement initiatives are greatly appreciated and will be acknowledged in the final Annual Report mailed this fall.
Can I still give to The 2023–2024 Fund for LREI?
Yes! It’s not too late to support The Fund for LREI. As long as your gift is received by June 30, 2024, your name will be included in the final Annual Report and count towards grade participation.
Your gift can be easily made by:
• Visiting lrei.org/givenow for direct debit, credit card, digital wallet, Venmo, or PayPal.
• Mailing a check to LREI Business Office 40 Charlton Street, New York, NY 10014.
