ANNOUNCEMENTS
Our 2024-25 Annual Fund began on a great note. We share our goals, monetary and aspirational, with our LCA families, friends, Board, and corporate friends. Four LCA families have already donated gladly. The Fund is used toward accreditation and a capital fund, and we have made recent investments in improving our programs. Find out more about our matching fund! We now are registered as well with Benevity.com for corporate matching donations and with Cocatalyst.org for stock donations.
