Generosity from educators, parents, friends, businesses and other nonprofit organizations helps to make Gold Star Grants, Random Acts of Kindness, and LPEF’s other programs possible.  

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.
