We consider Our People to include those who provide donations and financial support. As a membership organization, all those who donate become members and are entitled to participate in the governance of the foundation.
Your Donations to LFF are welcome. They allow us to expand our work in the communities of California and Hawaii. All donations are fully tax deductible.
LFF accepts donor advised donations for distribution to non-profit organizations and individuals whose stated community activities operate within our four main focus areas. 100% of donor advised donations are redistributed through grants. The Donor retains the option to specify (recommend to LFF) how to spend his or her specific donation.
LFF has an extremely low overhead. All board members, officers, management and advisors currently serve without financial compensation. LFF family assumes 100% of the costs for operating the foundation. Therefore 100% of donations received are applied towards the needs of other individuals and non-profit organizations.
Please call us if you believe you have a project or a non-profit organization that would benefit from support by LFF. Our grants range from $250 minimum to multi-year grants exceeding $10,000 per organization or project.
On behalf of all of those who have participated in LFF supported projects, may our endeavors in the pursuit of healing between all living things on this planet become the important work of us all.
"As we give, so shall we receive...".
