Make a difference in the education of young people — today and in the future — by supporting the La Crosse Public Education Foundation

At the La Crosse Public Education Foundation (LPEF), we can only fulfill our mission through the generosity of those who believe in possibilities — the possibilities of a strong education, creative opportunity, and the potential of our children. Our organization depends on volunteers and donors to help make these possibilities a reality. Find more information in this section on how you can make a difference.

Thanking our donors

We are grateful for the philanthropic support provided by our community of educators, parents, friends, businesses and other nonprofit organizations.  Every gift to LPEF is promptly acknowledged via letter or electronic communication.  We do not typically publish lists of donors, but provide specific recognition to our corporate partners and to those who sponsor events, such as our annual Bowtie Classic Golf Outing or Grants Award Luncheon. Other donations may be recognized — for instance, if the gift is designated for a specific purpose, or is made as a tribute or memorial to another person.
