4.5% of your gift is deducted to cover JustGive's processing costs.
Once your gift has been processed, JustGive will send you a receipt via email. All gifts made through JustGive also appear in your JustGive account.
Can I use JustGive to make an anonymous gift?
Yes. An anonymous gift means the Foundation knows the amount you gave but does not receive your name or any other contact information about you, if that is your wish.
Can I make a gift in memory of someone?
Yes. Fill in the name of a friend or loved one who has passed away. If you are contributing to a memorial fund established through the Foundation, please make sure the designation part of the form is filled in. The Foundation will inform the family of your gift, unless you choose to give anonymously.
Can I use JustGive to add to my donor advised fund at the Foundation?
Unfortunately, no. You can, however, designate one or more of the Foundation's Collaborative Funds to address current, unmet community issues. You will need to designate the specific fund, whether it's the LCF Community Fund or a LCF Field of Interest Fund, on the form that you complete. In some cases the Foundation will accept gifts to donor advised memorial funds. Contact the Foundation for more information about this exception.
