Ways to Give
Gifts of every amount are important to LCA—your support helps continue the mission of LCA! Gifts can be made with a check, securities, and matching gifts throughout the giving year (July 1st to June 30th). Gifts may also be made in installments through the same time frame. Contributions to LCA are tax deductible to the full extent of the law and will be acknowledged promptly in writing for tax purposes. All donors are also recognized in the Head of School’s Report, which is published in the fall.

MATCHING GIFTS
Companies often sponsor matching-gift programs through which they will match a donor’s contribution to the Academy, dollar-for-dollar (sometimes 2:1 or 3:1). Matching gifts can greatly enhance a charitable contribution made by an employee. Not only does LCA benefit from the increased donation, but a donor may qualify for a higher category of recognition when the gift is matched. The donor should ask their personnel office if their company matches gifts to secondary schools. If so, the donor must obtain a corporate matching gift form from personnel, complete it and send it in with his/her gift. In some companies, the forms can be obtained online.
