Giving   

Gifts from alumni and friends of Lansing Catholic Central High School play a vital role.  Our tuition revenues fall short (by over $500,000!) of covering the costs to run LCCHS each year.  This does not include needed improvements to the building and property.  Furthermore, this gap widens each year.  In short, gifts from our alumni and friends are absolutely necessary in order to sufficiently provide a quality education based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.  All monetary gifts will be put into a general fund or the donor may request its designation to a specific purpose.  For more reasons to give click here.

Gift Societies

With your annual gift you will be honored as a member of our gift societies.

 

Annual Giving
   
Annual gifts help meet current operating expenditures.  They are vital to fund student financial aid, faculty salaries, academic programs and facilities and grounds maintenance.  The Annual Appeal helps make up the difference between  tuition and the increasing costs of running a quality Catholic high school.
  Annual fund gifts are primarily cash gifts payable in a lump sum or in installments over the course of one year.

Endowed Gifts
   
These gifts are placed in a permanent fund that allows only earned income to be spent.  The larger the endowment, the more income available for Lansing Catholic.  Currently, LCCHS has endowment funds for Scholarship/Tuition Assistance and Capital Improvements.

    Individuals, businesses or groups may establish their own named endowment to benefit Lansing Catholic Central.  Gifts of this type are usually limited to contributions of $5,000 or more.

Memorial Gifts
   
Any gift can be made in honor of a special person (mother, father) or special event (birthday, anniversary) or in memory of a deceased relative, classmate or friend.  Memorial gifts may be made at any time and in any amount.  The funds can be designated for endowment, scholarship or special projects.  Any undesignated memorial gift is earmarked for scholarship.

Matching Gifts
   
Matching gifts are a wonderful way to increase the impact of your gift.  A few minutes of paperwork can double, triple and even quadruple your contribution to Lansing Catholic.  Participating companies match (sometimes as much as four times) the amount of dollars their employees or retirees give to Lansing Catholic Central High School.  The company matches a gift after receiving from the high school the company's matching gift form acknowledging receipt of the gift from its employee or retiree.  Please inquire at your company's personnel office to determine if they match charitable gifts to schools.  If your employer does provide matching gift dollars for education, obtain the appropriate form and send it with your gift to Lansing Catholic Central. We will do the rest!

Planned or Deferred Gifts
   
Long-term gifts to an organization are called planned or deferred gifts.  The use of such gifts is postponed until a specified future date.  Planned gifts help secure Lansing Catholic's future, providing significant assets that continue to benefit our high school for years to come.

    An example of a planned gift would be naming Lansing Catholic Central as a beneficiary in one's will.  This reduces the size of the taxable portion of an estate and can lower federal estate tax liability.  Other forms of planned gifts include trusts, life insurance policies, transfers of residence and personal property and charitable remainder gifts.  Donors should consult their attorney or financial advisor for tax information specific to their circumstances.

Gifts-in-Kind
   
Gifts of service, materials, equipment and expertise can also benefit our school and qualify as a charitable contribution.  Donors desiring to make a gift of this nature are encouraged to work through the Development Office and selected school personnel to determine the usability and appropriateness of such a gift.
