LCA has greatly benefitted from the generosity of family and friends in the community who have shown a willingness to be sustaining participants in the life of the school. LCA is committed to graduating students that exemplify an integrated worldview, possess strong academic skills and desire to make an impact in their culture. If you would like to partner with us financially, there are many opportunities to consider.

Gifts of Cash
Cash gifts are deductible for federal income tax purposes, up to a limit of 50% of you AGI, if you itemize deductions. Where cash gifts exceed this limit, the excess may be carried over up to five years.

Gifts of Stocks and Bonds
Donors to LCA can make outright gifts and pledges in the form of appreciated securities rather than cash, benefiting from extra tax advantages.

If you itemize, you are entitled to a charitable income-tax deduction for the full value of your gift, provided you have owned the securities for more than 12 months.

You avoid paying a tax on capital gains that you would owe if you sold the securities and then donated the cash.  Gifts of securities are deductible for federal tax purposes up to a limit of thirty percent of your adjusted gross income.

Gifts of Closely Held Stock
If you own stock in a closely held corporation, you can use such stock to make a gift to LCA that will bring you substantial tax benefits.  There are a number of strategies you can use to structure the gift according to your circumstances.

Donating a Vehicle
LCA has been the recipient of donated vehicles that we are currently utilizing in our ministry.  If you have an extra vehicle in good working condition, consider donating it to LCA.  It will save you the trouble of selling it and you will earn a tax deduction for its fair market value.

Corporate Matching Gifts
Many large corporations provide matching programs whereby they will match charitable donations given by their employees up to a certain dollar amount.  A donation made by you to LCA can easily be doubled and in some cases tripled by a corporate match.

Corporate Sponsorship
Companies that believe in LCA’s ministry and recognize the impact it has on our community can partner with us by donating materials needed for various projects or by electing to make a monthly pledge.

LCA is a 501c3 corporation. Deductibility for tax purposes varies by the type and amount of deduction.  Contact your attorney or tax advisor for specific information.
