How to give
There are several ways to support LFSD.
Online
Give by credit card or PayPal through our secure online donation page.
Pledges & automatic payments
Your gift can be made in one payment or as a pledge, paid monthly, quarterly or semiannually by automatic payment (ACH). To set this up, contact our Finance Department at dfo@lfsd.org.
Matching gifts
Many employers match their employees’ charitable gifts and can double or even triple your impact. Ask your human resources department whether your company participates in a matching gift program.
Gifts in kind
Non-monetary gifts such as furniture, books, electronics or supplies are welcome with prior approval. LFSD does not assign a value to gifts in kind; for gifts over $5,000, the IRS requires an appraisal.
