Foundation grants are by invitation only.
When you build a house, you have to lay a foundation – something solid and strong on which you can build so that the house won’t fall down. Gifts to the LCFS Foundation are cornerstone gifts that provide long-term stability – impacting the lives of children and families today and our ability to be adaptive and responsive to their needs in the future.
The LCFS Foundation’s EIN Number is 36-7276007.
