Become a Friend of the Foundation

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
- Margaret Mead

The Foundation for Leon County Schools has been successful due to the generous support of our community. With the help of many supporters, the Foundation raises funds for programs that are not funded with tax dollars.

By supporting the Foundation for Leon County Schools with a financial gift, public schools in your community will have additional support for programs and initiatives to help our school district maintain excellent and equitable learning environments. Please become a Friend of the Foundation by sending your donation with a completed donation form.

Did you know that the Foundation offers many matching gift and grant opportunities for which your donation may be eligible? Your company may also offer a match for your gift. If you’d like to explore this further, contact Sheila Costigan at costigans@foundationforlcs.com or (850) 487-7881.

Planned giving is another option for those who want to make a difference in a child's life. A retirement fund advisor, tax attorney, or certified financial planner can advise you of the best way to make a planned gift to the Foundation Endowment and create a scholarship in yours or a loved one's name. Please contact costigans@foundationforlcs.com or (850) 487-7881.

The Foundation is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization so your gift is tax deductible. Your contribution will make a significant difference in our schools and for that we thank you!
