Every Dollar Raised Statement


At the Foundation we've calculated the return on an unrestricted Inspiring Dreams gift. Below are three examples of how you could share this fact. 

1. Maximizing Your Gift 
We turn every dollar raised into nearly $11 more for LPS.  

2. What Happens When You Support the Foundation for LPS 
A donation to our unrestricted fund, meaning a gift you don't designate where it goes, powers our team. When you support our staff and the work we do, we're able to use $1 and raise even more. Nearly $11 more for students, teachers and schools in Lincoln. 

3. 11 is better than 1 
When you donate an unrestricted gift to the Foundation that gift powers a small, but mighty team of fundraising professionals. Through our work we can take $1 and in turn raise $10.62. A gift that just makes good sense.
